Hi, I’m Brianda — a bilingual (English/Spanish) therapist based in Austin, TX. I hope you feel safe with me as your therapist know that I am also in my healing era (we're always able to learn about ourselves!), so I plan to treat our sessions the way I would like to feel supported from my therapist- without judgement and the pressure to be someone else other than you. Explore your identity with me sin miedo (without fear)!
I specialize in supporting people who feel “in-between” — whether they’re moving through life transitions, career changes, break-ups, or balancing multiple cultures and expectations. As someone who openly embraces my own anxiety, I deeply understand the courage it takes to show up authentically in therapy and in life.
My practice is dedicated to teenagers and young adults, and I’m passionate about helping each client feel empowered, understood, and grounded as they grow.
Another important part of my practice is to hold space for those in the Latine community. Let's talk cultural integration, identity work, and family boundaries!
