About Me
"My goal is to meet you exactly where you are — and walk alongside you toward where you want to be."
Welcome. I'm Brenda, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in Connecticut and the founder of Empowering Others, LLC. With nearly twenty years of clinical experience across diverse settings — including child welfare, hospital-based care, vocational rehabilitation, and community mental health — I bring a deep and nuanced understanding of the challenges people face at every stage of life.
I have a particular passion for working with young adults navigating the complex transition into independence, identity, and mental wellness. My practice is grounded in a strengths-based philosophy: I believe every person already holds the capacity for growth and healing — sometimes we just need the right support to access it.
Through secure, convenient telehealth sessions, I offer a safe and confidential space where you can show up fully, without judgment. Whether you're managing anxiety, depression, life transitions, or simply seeking greater clarity and well-being, I'm here to help.
Areas of Focus
Support for managing worry, overwhelm, and the pressures of everyday life through evidence-based tools.
Compassionate care for low mood, hopelessness, and emotional flatness — working toward reconnection and hope.
Navigating emerging adulthood, career shifts, relationship changes, and other major turning points.
Addressing the intersection of mental health, behavioral patterns, and daily functioning.
Building confidence, self-worth, and a clearer sense of self — especially for young adults.
Non-judgmental support for individuals navigating substance use and the recovery journey.
My Approach
We begin with what's already working. I help you identify your resilience and inner resources, then build from there — not just from what's broken.
Your goals, your pace, your story. Therapy is not one-size-fits-all; every care plan is shaped around your unique needs and lived experience.
Rooted in clinical best practices with nearly two decades of cross-system experience, I bring both heart and clinical rigor to every session.
