I'm Brandie,
an online business expert, community organizer, and mental health founder
Born and raised in East Los Angeles, I’m a Millennial First Gen Latina with a strong Gen X influence (shoutout to my Tías!). My first business? Selling Mexican candy out of my backpack in first grade. Since then, I’ve built multiple businesses from the ground up, been featured in Oprah magazine, and created Therapy for Latinx, the first national mental health directory for our community.
I move between worlds—digital and grassroots, business and advocacy—bridging culture, strategy, and impact. Whether I’m organizing, building, or mentoring, I believe in creating spaces where we thrive, not just survive. My work is about connection, dignity, and making success more accessible—on our terms.

About
Therapy for Latinx was founded in 2018 after losing one of my best friends to mental health challenges. It's the first national Latinx mental health directory. Through this work we have been able to connect the Latinx community to therapists, mental health resources, and community. It's the project I am most proud of.
We are proud of our heritage, the future that can be achieved by our community online and IRL. We carry on behalf of those who came before us, and all those generations to come. We provide clients with the ultimate luxury: A well-designed, high quality brand that contributes to your Herencia. It’s not just a name. It’s our mission.
Con Confianza Tax Services was founded in 2019. We were tired of corporate companies targeting low income and BIPOC communities without giving back in any way and over charging for services. We believe in fair pricing, transparency, and integrity. We take pride in being an alternative option to big box tax corporations.
I first learned about Human Design and Natal Astrology in 2014 while going through a difficult time in my life. Both tools collapsed time. It allowed me to grow and transform in the fastest and most meaningful way possible. Now I do chart readings and incorporate aspects of these tools into my all my businesses and relationships.
Duality Dating connects women with deep healing, meaningful relationships, and confidence in an sophisticated way. We center women's pleasure, desires, and satisfaction.

Brandie brings so much clinical and business expertise to the table. Not only is she genuinely invested in seeing you flourish and grow, but she is consistent with continuing to be of support and provides transparency. She is in depth and has never not been able to answer a question I might have about my website, accessibility or business ideas. What I particularly love about Brandie is how accessible she is. Being on different marketing platforms, I’ve never been able to access a live person. I also can’t get feedback or discuss possible ideas with improving my profile, additional business ideas/services, etc. Brandie provides clarity, guidance and more. Brandie has been able to reassure me when self doubt kicks in. She continues to guide me with ideas on how to market myself and how to cultivate a website that best represents me. She provides immeasurable knowledge and kindness with her services, something that is of great value to me. I highly recommend Brandie for any and all marketing business ideas and services. She’s definitely one of a kind!
