Finding the right therapist for your needs can be anxiety-provoking. I want to make it easier for you. I value building a strong sense of rapport with you through transparency, validation, and humor. I believe in working together to process your most pressing challenges, helping you adapt healthy coping behaviors that allow you to not only live a life you love, but one where you thrive.
Brittany utilizes various evidenced-based approaches to care, such as cognitive-behavioral, person-centered, play/creative, narrative, bibliotherapy, mindfulness, and dialectical behavior therapy strategies.
Brittany’s clinical interests include: eating disorders, grief, trauma, anxiety disorders, depression and other mood disorders, executive functioning, school and academic issues, identity development, relationship difficulties, communication, stress management, self-esteem challenges, behavioral challenges, divorce, family conflict, as well as social skills.
