As a proud member of the Society of Indian Psychologists, Bre incorporates culturally grounded, Indigenous-informed practices into her work. She honors the holistic, relational approach that tribal knowledge offers, recognizing that healing, growth, and workplace well-being are deeply interconnected. This perspective strengthens her ability to create inclusive, people-centered strategies that respect the whole person and the whole system they operate in.
​
​Bre is committed to the highest ethical standards in consulting, leadership, and organizational practice, as demonstrated by her affiliation with the American Psychological Association. She brings integrity, cultural humility, and professional responsibility to every engagement, ensuring clients receive guidance grounded in both evidence and ethics.
​
Her active participation in Division 35: The Society for Women in Psychology, reflects her commitment to supporting diversity of thought, experience, identity, and background. She believes organizations thrive when they embrace the richness of diverse perspectives and works to help teams and leaders build environments where every voice can contribute and succeed.
​
As a serving leader in the U.S. Army National Guard, Bre brings firsthand insight into the unique challenges, transitions, and strengths of individuals who dedicate their lives to serving their communities. This lived experience bridges the gap between service and opportunity, guiding both individuals navigating their next chapter and employers seeking to better support their people.
