Good Morning! Aside from psychotherapy, I am also a certified Reiki Level 2 Practioner! I offer Reiki services separate from therapy & have also incorporated it into therapy sessions which has been so beautiful.

I’m excited to share more about Reiki, what Reiki is, and how Reiki may benefit you!

I am still accepting new clients with immediate availability for psychotherapy and reiki. Please reach out if you are ready to start your physical, mental, and spiritual healing journey.. ❤️💫

Sometimes our thoughts, emotions, anxiety, relationships, and responsibilities all become tangled together like a giant ball of yarn.

Therapy isn’t about someone “fixing” you. It’s about having a safe space to slowly unravel the knots, understand yourself more deeply, and reconnect with who you are underneath the overwhelm.

This is one of my favorite visuals for therapy because healing often doesn’t happen all at once. It happens one thread at a time.

As the owner of Empowering Souls Therapy PLLC, I’m grateful to support individuals through perinatal mental health, anxiety disorders, life transitions, trauma healing, and more.

If you’ve been considering therapy lately, this is your gentle reminder that you don’t have to carry everything alone. I have immediate openings in the month of June!

Postpartum and motherhood can be beautiful… yet also incredibly overwhelming. As a therapist who has specialized in perinatal mental health for several years, and as a mother of 2 myself, I understand how much this season can hold.

Anxiety, intrusive thoughts, irritability, feeling disconnected, or not quite like yourself in this new season… these are all more common than many realize. You shouldn't have to navigate it alone!

I offer a supportive, non-judgmental space for women to process their experiences, feel understood, and begin to reconnect with themselves again. If you’ve been struggling during pregnancy, postpartum, or motherhood in general, support is available 🤍

You deserve to feel like yourself again! Feel free to reach out if you’d like to connect or learn more about how I can support you. I do offer free 15 minute phone consultations to make sure I am a good fit!

Therapy can feel intimidating if you’ve never experienced it before but it doesn’t have to be!

Therapy is simply a safe space to slow down and process what’s been weighing on you. The thoughts that keep spinning in your mind, the emotions you haven’t had time to sort through, or the stress you’ve been carrying on your own.

Sometimes, having someone truly listen without judgment or expectation helps you begin to understand things in a new way. From there, we can gently explore coping tools and supportive strategies that meet you where you are in this season of life.

At Empowering Souls Therapy, you’ll find a space that is safe, nurturing, and peaceful created just for you to show up exactly as you are.

Let’s talk about something that feels all too familiar for many of us! The silent stress that doesn’t always show up right away but when it does, it can feel overpowering. Burnout!

Burnout can look like..

• Going through the motions
• Feeling emotionally numb
• Being constantly tired, no matter how much you rest

If you are experiencing this… your body may be giving you signs & asking for a change 🤍

I see this often in my own life, in family & friends, & the individuals I work with. It’s something many people quietly carry without realizing it has a name.

Burnout isn’t a sign of weakness.
It’s often the result of being in “go mode” for too long without enough space to rest, process, slow down, or even receive support.

A few small ways to begin supporting yourself:

• Take a few minutes to pause without distractions (no phone, no noise)
• Check in with yourself: What do I truly need right now?
• Give yourself permission to slow down, think, & pause throughout the day.. even if it’s briefly.

You don’t have to fix everything all at once. Sometimes healing starts with simply noticing where you are.

If you’ve been feeling this way, you’re not alone. I would be honored to support you!
If you’re ready to begin therapy, feel free to reach out! Everyone is worthy of a safe space.

Good Morning! You may have heard of EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization & Reprocessing Therapy) but what does it actually do? ✨ EMDR helps your brain process and release stuck experiences that continue to impact how you feel today.

EMDR was designed to support:
• Trauma
• Ongoing Anxiety & Depression
• Negative self-beliefs
• Distressing memories

Healing doesn’t always happen just by talking it happens through processing and releasing.

My journey with EMDR became personal before it was professional. I was first drawn to EMDR after my personal therapist suggested it for me. Through sessions, I experienced the impact it can have in processing & letting go of what we carry leading to deeper healing.

Because of this, I chose to pursue certification in EMDR so I can effectively support others in this season of life as well. It’s truly an incredible process to witness & I feel honored to offer it as part of the healing journey.

If you’re curious about EMDR, I’m always happy to answer questions 🤍 If you’re ready to begin therapy, feel free to reach out. I’m here to help!

You deserve to feel supported by someone who truly understands the different seasons of life 💛

Hi, I’m Brandie, the therapist behind Empowering Souls Therapy. I wanted to share a little more about my background and the heart behind the work I do.

Over the past several years, I’ve had the honor of working with individuals across many stages of life:

• I spent 3 years supporting mothers, parents, and the birth to three population walking alongside women through postpartum depression, early motherhood, and child development challenges.

• I then spent 4 years in private practice working with teens, adults, and couples navigating anxiety, depression, OCD, life transitions, and relationship challenges.

• Most recently, I’ve spent the past 2 years working within a nursing home setting, supporting the geriatric population through emotional adjustment, depression, anxiety, and the complexities that come with aging and health changes.

Through these experiences, I’ve developed a deep understanding of how mental, emotional, and physical health are all interconnected. I’ve also had the opportunity to work alongside interdisciplinary care teams, allowing me to support clients from a more holistic and whole person perspective.

No matter your age or stage of life, my goal is to provide a space where you feel seen, supported, and empowered to heal.

If you’re ready to begin therapy, feel free to reach out through my website or email: [email protected] 🙂
