There are times when just functioning in life can feel like a struggle. Some patterns can feel impossible to break, and a similar type of pain or suffering revisits us again and again.

Hi, my name is Breia. I have been working in the field of substance use and mental health for the past 8 years. I am a licensed mental health counselor and an international alcohol and drug counselor. I received my MS in Mental Health Counseling from Drake University in 2017. I have also received training in dialectical behavioral therapy (DBT). I have served and continue to have a passion serving those who have experienced anxiety, depression, complex trauma, emotional intensity, grief and loss, substance use, and more.

Modern life is not easy. Everything has become more and more complicated: managing relationships, meeting your professional goals, balancing your time, and pursuing your interests. We all experience these demands, and each of us has a limit. When we reach our capacity, we often feel overwhelmed, angry, depressed, and even anxious. We loose joy, and even purpose; we concede to despair and are filled with worries. Even the strongest and most capable people among us need a little help sometimes to work through some of life’s more challenging problems. Our private practice specializes in helping people who are struggling with anxiety, depression, problematic substance use, pornography and sex addiction, relationship enhancement, or stress management. If you are feeling lost and struggling with these worries, let us help you rediscover what brings happiness to your life.

It can provide an opportunity to become more conscious of unhealthy and maladaptive patterns and increase overall well-being.

I believe that therapy requires a specialized approach that recognizes each person’s unique life story.

I feel that my genuine approach and willingness to challenge and engage clients has helped me assist others to navigate life’s obstacles and improve their functioning and quality of life.

I believe that all of us have the ability to change and are equipped with the inner resources to do so. Most people find times in their life when they experience distress from strained relationships, stressors or losses, experiences of trauma, or other factors and they need support to overcome these difficulties.

Have you ever had the thought "Maybe I have a problem with anxiety?" One of the worst things about anxiety (aside from the feeling) is the avoidance it creates in a person's life. From mildly interfering with enjoyment to outright avoiding things altogether, anxiety can be paralyzing. Whether it's related to social situations, more generalized, panic attacks, phobia, agoraphobia, or related disorders such as OCD. These are my first and foremost areas of expertise. One of the most rewarding aspects of my job is seeing and comparing the progress a person makes along the way.

I bring my authentic self to the therapeutic relationship which includes small doses of humor and sarcasm when appropriate!
