Hello! I'm Brianna, a Licensed Master Social Worker. I am an Adelphi University graduate receiving my BSW in 2018 and my MSW in 2019. I have experience working in schools, non-profits, and medical settings. I spent two years working as an in-home therapist servicing youth with severe emotional and behavioral disturbances and now currently work full-time in the field of substance use. I’ve worked with many different populations including ages ranging from adolescents to geriatrics, LGBTQ+, family caregivers, substance abuse, and victims of domestic violence & sexual assault, just to name a few.

Life can be challenging, and you don't have to figure it out on your own. Many factors shape who we are and how we feel, some of which we’re not even aware of. Therapy provides the opportunity to gain understanding of those things in a safe and supportive environment. I consider my part in your journey of self-discovery as a privilege. I understand seeking help is truly an act of courage, which I deeply appreciate and respect.

I would love to help you create the changes you are seeking and in turn find your authentic self. I am client centered and my approach is individualized to meet your personal needs and goals. I feel that therapy is not a one size fits all approach and together we can find and work on the issues that you feel are holding you back from having the life you want to be living.

I believe we all have a core self and a purpose. Many individuals, however, are blocked by depression, anxiety, and trauma, as well as low self-esteem, substance abuse, and eating disorders. I am an LCSW with a certificate from the Psychoanalytic Psychotherapy Study Center. I have extensive experience working with adults from various cultural and socio-economic backgrounds and have treated individuals diagnosed with everything from bipolar to borderline personality disorder.

I bring to my practice the skills and experience of a rich 20-year career, as well as a solid humanistic approach to mental health, human relationships and growth. I believe that every human being has value, deserves respect, benefits from meaningful relationships, and has the capability for self-actualization. Therapy is a powerful process not only to overcome adversity, obstacles, or negative patterns in thinking, behaviors or relationships that may be causing suffering, but also it can be an extraordinary opportunity to explore and find your uniqueness, potential and strength in ways that you may have not considered before.

As your therapist, I will provide you with a safe, compassionate, confidential space where you will feel heard and validated. Whatever your challenges, life circumstances, or life transitions, we will work collaboratively to achieve your treatment goals. My hope is that you will feel supported and empowered to develop the skills and strategies to create the life you desire, despite whatever challenges you may face.

Are you struggling with finding healthy ways to cope? Life can be pretty stressful and overwhelming for a variety of reasons. Relationships, family issues, parenting, work, school, daily functioning, responsibilities, social struggles can all become difficult to cope with. I believe it is important to collaborate with the client to find out what they would like to gain from attending therapy so that goals can be attained while facing these challenges.

The greatest discovery I have made in life is to embrace the unexpected, to crave the twists and turns as much as the great joys of life, and to lead with curiosity. Life can often feel scary, and we may face challenges that leave us feeling like there is nowhere to turn. If you find yourself feeling this way, you are not alone. Whether you are dealing with feelings of great sadness, anxiousness that feels uncontrollable, or struggling to move past an event in your life you have turned to the right place. Seeking therapy can lead to a greater understanding of yourself, the world around you, and the person you want to be.

Are you struggling in one or more of these areas…Do you have poor communication with loved ones that result in arguing without resolution? Do you have conflict with your children and don’t know how to help? Are you unhappy in your marriage? Do you have stress? Is your mind over thinking or obsessing? Feeling overwhelmed? Are you up all night? Are you angry? Are you or a loved one dealing with addiction? Are you unhappy with your job? Are you trying to make a change in life and don’t know what to do? Are you feeling depressed? Do you lack motivation? Do you have panic attacks? Are you suffering from anxiety?

What holds you back? Do you find yourself feeling stuck, going through the motions of your day, or feeling trapped by your thoughts? Discover the tools you need to succeed and honor your story. Your past and your future are lenses through which you can discover a more meaningful present. Healing can be challenging but you don’t have to go through it alone. I hope to work with you through stressors as you become attuned to your present needs and explore how life events and societal/familial expectations may play a role in your life.

I believe that psychotherapy is like getting a college degree in knowing yourself. The more aware we are of our motives, feelings, thoughts, actions & perceptions the less we are controlled by them & less likely to be stuck in old patterns that no longer work. I have helped many competent, intelligent men and women who wanted more out of life than financial success. They often would describe having a sense of feeling empty or not gratified. The process of psychotherapy facilitates increased self-awareness thereby increasing your ability to identify and follow your desires, which leads to fulfillment.

Perhaps you are in a transitional phase, feeling unsettled, confused, frustrated, lonely or in grief. Or there may be active addiction, disordered eating or body image issues, family stress, estrangement, relational conflicts or infidelity. Or, you are struggling and don't understand why. My professional experience is varied and spans 40 years. However, it is this role as a therapist that blends it together beautifully with my life experience and extensive training to serve my clients. Therapy can be life-changing, and you deserve to thrive, accept what is unchangeable, change what is, and feel at ease with yourself and others.

Life is not easy and an outlet can make all the difference in creating a better version of yourself. There is no shame in looking inwards and seeing what your fears or sorrows are. I take pride in providing a safe space where one can open up and talk about their feelings and life experiences. "If you are depressed you are living in the past. If you are anxious you are living in the future. If you are at peace you are living in the present -Lao Tzu"
