Welcome! I’m Brittaneyrose, a licensed therapist serving clients in the DMV area and Michigan. My approach to therapy is collaborative, where the real transformation happens both inside and outside our sessions. I encourage self-work (homework) to empower you, because the growth is yours to claim. My role is to help you make sense of your journey and bring clarity to what you’re experiencing. I specialize in supporting women ages 21-65 who are navigating life post-breakup or divorce. I also work with married couples looking to repair and strengthen their relationships through the transformative process of Marriage Therapy.

Are you navigating a transition in your life, experiencing an unusual amount of stress, or finding it difficult to get out of bed in the morning? Do you want to better understand yourself and your relationships with your partner, family, friends, or coworkers? You are wired for belonging and connection and want intimacy and authenticity in your relationships. When these needs are not being met, you feel detached, adrift, sad, and irritable. It is difficult, but this can be the perfect opportunity for creating a new, healthier "normal."

My ideal clients are individuals navigating life transitions, trauma, anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, or feelings of being stuck. Many are professionals, veterans, caregivers, and helpers who have spent years caring for others while neglecting their own needs. Clients often come to therapy when they are ready for change. They want to heal from the past, gain clarity, improve relationships, build healthy coping skills, and create a more fulfilling life. I provide a supportive, collaborative space where clients can explore challenges, identify barriers to growth, and develop practical strategies for moving forward.

My ideal clients are ready to acknowledge where they are in life, willing to dream and define how they want their life to look (and feel) and committed to taking action to close the gap to move boldly to their desired life. Prepared to "do the work", they enter our partnership authentically and ego-free with the understanding it is OK (and sometimes pretty great) to be free of having ALL of the answers. Approaching our work, I encourage a beginner's mind, willingness to explore various strategies, practices, and approaches to determine what speaks to you most. You get to decide.

No matter who you are or what your particular challenges are, we can all get to the point where we feel like we're drowning. Work can push us and make us feel inadequate or overworked. Our relationships can make us doubt our value or our commitment. Even our family members who are supposed to be our main support can turn out to be a source of major stress. Tell me your individual story and struggles so that we can work together to find your peace and calm. Sometimes our burdens can get so heavy that even trying to picture our goals is difficult. Let's try to face some this fog so we can see our dreams clearer.

Many people come to therapy when life feels confusing, disconnected, or overwhelming. Therapy can offer a space to pause long enough to notice what is actually happening within you, rather than reacting on autopilot. Together, we’ll slow down and explore what’s unfolding in your life right now, paying attention with curiosity and care. From this foundation of awareness, you can reconnect with choice—clarifying what matters most and taking steps, at a workable pace, toward a life that feels more meaningful. Together, we’ll focus on changing how you relate to your inner experience and building practical steps to support real change.

Life is a field of unlimited possibilities. Are you ready to begin exploring? I believe we are all here to help one another learn and grow. I would be honored to be a part of your journey. I specialize in anxiety disorders because this is an area that I know intimately. I once had really bad anxiety and panics attacks. I learned to overcome them and they are now a distant memory. I would like to show you how this can be true for you as well. I offer flexible scheduling with options that include evenings and weekends for my DC clients. Go to the scheduling link to get started.

I create a warm and steady therapeutic space for individuals who feel overwhelmed, emotionally burdened, or disconnected from themselves after carrying too much alone. Many of the women, caregivers, and families I support are navigating grief, relational stress, identity transitions, or the lasting impact of developmental trauma. Our work focuses on slowing the pace, strengthening insight, and building sustainable tools for healing, stability, and growth. I believe meaningful therapy begins with safety, attunement, and feeling genuinely understood.

Anxiety and OCD can have relentless impacts on our lives. If you’ve found that you can’t stop playing mental ping-pong in your head, feel that others may not quite understand your concerns, or find that once one worry goes away, another pops up...you’re in the right place! I specialize in the treatment of anxiety and obsessive-compulsive behaviors. In my approach, we target the “why” behind your anxiety, where it comes from, and how we can get your to a place where you feel less doubt, more confident, and empowered to know what to do when fear strikes.

Do you feel unfulfilled and lost or confused in your roles, overwhelmed by work, family, and relationships? Perhaps you feel anxious, exhausted, and disconnected, longing for clarity and a way to reconnect with your true self and your dreams. Or are you part of a couple, still care for each other but feel emotionally distant, stuck in cycles of conflict, and wanting to rebuild trust, emotional intimacy, and communication? Perhaps you carry the weight of trauma or complexities around adoption, which impacts how you relate to yourself and others.
