We all have a human need to feel connected – to our loved ones, our communities, and the world around us. Sometimes, however, emotional roadblocks or negative thought patterns can create walls that make genuine connections difficult. Therapy can be a powerful tool to explore these very issues. Imagine therapy as a safe space where you can freely explore your thoughts, feelings, and behaviors without judgment. Brianna's approach is collaborative and authentic, meaning you'll work together as a team to uncover how these internal factors might be impacting you.

PARTNER/SPOUSE support group starting in January 2023! Two sections offered: Tues at 12pm and Fri at 9:30am.

I am currently a Supervisee of Social Work with over 21 years of experience working with adults, children and couples.

My specialty also surrounds social work, child protective services, Foster care juvenile justice systems and special education. My Job is My Passion, My Ministry.

I have over 14 years of experience. I am passionate and Solution-Focused, about helping others, whether it is a struggle with daily life tasks, general life transitions, or in cases of distress or crisis. My goal is to help you feel more empowered to reach your personal goals and experience a healthier and happier life. We can work together on healing whether you are experiencing issues in managing emotions, relationship boundaries, self-esteem, mood instability, or other symptoms directly related to OCD, bi-polar disorder, trauma, depression, and anxiety. I consider myself to be an “eclectic” therapist.

Therapy can often be initially awkward or even bring out a vulnerability in the client. I believe it is important to develop trust and rapport very early to make the client feel comfortable, safe, and heard. Once trust is established, we work together to set goals and establish coping skills to handle struggles you might be faced with. Every client’s situation is unique and that would determine my therapeutic approach. I often draw from an eclectic treatment approach such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Solution Focused Therapy, and Person-Centered Therapy and incorporate Mindfulness and elements of Play Therapy.

I am a compassionate, warm, empathetic person who is passionate about helping people find solutions to life's obstacles. I accomplish this by helping clients identify healthy ways of coping so they may thrive during hardship. Life can be full of stressors that can have an impact on your ability to function and getting the help you need with someone you feel comfortable with is vital to your growth during therapy. My greatest satisfaction lies in helping my clients feel empowered to take control of their lives.
