Do you ever imagine what it would feel like to truly trust yourself and the people around you? Somewhere along the way, you learned to cope: overextending yourself for others until nothing was left, or keeping people at arm's length. Talk therapy alone hasn't shifted these patterns, and you're tired of running on empty. If your early environment was unpredictable, neglectful, or harshly critical, your body may still be stuck in high alert mode. Your thoughts loop, your inner voice is harsh, and you swing between overwhelm and shutdown. Underneath it, you want a life where you can just exist, without hiding or performing.

The shape of who we are today is heavily influenced by our childhood experiences and relationships (attachments). I know what it's like to have developed ways of protecting yourself that once kept you safe but now feel like invisible walls. The things we learned to do —to survive, to cope, to make it through—they become part of how we move through the world, even when we don't need them anymore. In therapy, we work together to gently uncover those patterns, not to blame or pathologize, but to understand the story they’re telling and how they may be keeping you stuck

I’m Briana. I have spent time in shoes like yours and have a deep empathy for those who are on their journey to greater healing and understanding of themselves and their lives through therapy. I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) which means I largely see you as a whole picture, a person that can be affected by many different factors in their environment, and how your issues can be correlated to other aspects of your life. I’m empathetic, but real. I’m a good listener, but I don’t think therapy should just be listening.

Trauma takes many forms; often in the guise of unprocessed grief and loss. Loss of employment, financial insecurity, divorce, separation, domestic violence and abuse; all must be mourned. We become stuck; often not understanding our own reactions to people, places and things. Our partners, children, colleagues and superiors can appear to feel unfairly entitled to what we have to offer. Our ability to tolerate distress is limited.
