Accepts BCBS
Brandon is an Associate Licensed Counselor under the supervision of Tara Vines, LPC-S. He works with individuals, couples, and young adults seeking clarity, growth, and healthier ways to navigate life’s challenges. His counseling approach blends clinically informed practices with a strong background in ministry, allowing him to support clients through relationship concerns, life transitions, emotional stress, and questions of purpose with both professionalism and care.
Brandon holds a Master of Divinity (M.Div.) in Great Commission Studies from The Southern Baptist Theological Seminary and a Master’s in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from the University of the Cumberlands.
Prior to joining Fortify Christian Counseling, Brandon became a licensed and ordained minister who served for seven years as the primary pastor for college students and young adults (ages 20s–30s) at Valleydale Church in Birmingham, Alabama. In that role, he frequently provided pastoral counseling for individuals, premarital couples, and married couples, helping clients navigate both everyday challenges and more complex life circumstances with wisdom, encouragement, and practical guidance.
Brandon thoughtfully integrates his Christian faith and ministry experience into counseling for clients who desire a faith-based approach. He also fully respects clients who prefer counseling that does not incorporate faith, tailoring sessions to align with each client’s goals, values, and comfort level. His aim is to help clients gain insight, strengthen relationships, and move forward with confidence and intentionality.
Brandon is also a certified PREPARE/ENRICH® facilitator, offering structured premarital and marital assessment and counseling to support couples in building strong, healthy relationships.
