I love working with couples and individuals who want more out of their lives and their relationships. We people who aren't satisfied to settle for good enough or let the painful status quo remain. My expertise is in attachment science, that is, our human need to connect and the strategies we use to accomplish this. Often the strategies we have learned in the past are no longer serving us, and may in fact be the source of our pain. For couples, I am experienced in healing deep relationship wounds. I'm here to help you get unstuck from your negative interaction cycle so you can give and receive the love you want.

Hi and Welcome to the bio of Brenna Cash, clinical mental health and family therapist. I look forward to starting this journey with you toward self-care and healing through holistic approaches to meeting your therapeutic goals. While counseling won’t erase the undesirable events of the past, together we can work to better understand and address the challenges of today. By applying complementary therapy approaches and techniques, we will unearth long-standing behavior patterns or negative perceptions that may be holding you back from experiencing a more fulfilling and meaningful life.
