About Brenda
Psychotherapist, teacher, and writer.
My work has moved across community mental health, hospital care, private practice, supervision, and teaching. Across each setting, I have remained interested in the relationship between mind and body and how lasting change takes root.
I’m a longtime yoga practitioner and a certified Kripalu Yoga teacher, and I remain an eager student of Jungian psychology.

Where this began
How Healing for Healers began
During the pandemic, I watched therapists and other helpers carry extraordinary emotional weight while their own reserves wore thin. I created a workshop series called Healing for Healers as a place to pause, practice, and connect.
Many of us already knew why self-care mattered. We needed ways to notice what pulled us away from ourselves, spaces to practice together, and a place to speak honestly with colleagues about the joys and demands of this work. That experience became one of the roots of The Flourishing Therapist.
