Bre believes when working with clients it is important to do so through a trauma-informed lens which involves prioritizing safety and trust in therapeutic relationships with both adults and children. By creating a supportive environment, Bre helps clients feel secure enough to explore their traumatic experiences at their own pace. This collaborative approach fosters open communication and empowers individuals to express their feelings and challenges. Bre believes it is important for clients to know they are not alone and will come alongside them, offering guidance and understanding as they navigate their healing journey, ultimately promoting resilience and personal growth.  Being adopted herself, Bre also has a unique understanding of adoption-related challenges and has developed expertise in adoption competence. She works closely with adoptive families, adopted individuals, and foster families to address the complexities and unique needs that arise within the adoption process. Bre provides a supportive and nurturing space for exploration, healing, and building healthy attachments. Along with providing individual therapy for both adults and children, Bre is also very passionate about educating others on trauma and has provided several trauma informed trainings for professionals and foster/adoptive groups. Bre shares her knowledge and expertise locally and throughout the state of MN and has developed a comprehensive workshop focused on foster care/adoption and taking a deep dive into what foster children are going through. Through engaging and interactive presentations, Bre equips participants with practical skills and tools to enhance their ability to understand and work with trauma.
