Brenda is a compassionate clinical social worker with over four years of experience in counseling, bringing a deep understanding of mental health and public health to RTB. She is highly skilled at supporting diverse populations, managing high-stress situations, and fostering collaborative therapeutic relationships.
Brenda earned her master’s degree in social welfare and a bachelor's degree in sociology from UCLA, following an associate’s degree in psychology.
