Life can often feel messy and chaotic. My passion is to help bring order out of chaos to facilitate growth and peace. Many of my clients present with concerns related to anxiety, depression, relationship issues, stressful life transitions and circumstances, perinatal mental health concerns, or they report feeling a little “off” and are seeking help to feel more like themselves again. I work best with clients who are engaged and motivated to see changes in their lives, and I have a great love for coming alongside people to help them move towards becoming the best version of themselves.

My work centers on mothers and children, including play therapy and Child–Parent Psychotherapy. I approach early childhood mental health through a developmental lens, recognizing that a child’s emotional well-being is rooted in both their developmental capacity and their relationships with caregivers.
I have also worked extensively with mothers navigating a range of challenges, including traumatic birth experiences and perinatal mood disorders. When we acknowledge the complex realities of motherhood, women are empowered, and outcomes improve for both mothers and their children.

Life is a gift, but doesn’t always feel that way. Relationship and family conflict, health concerns, addictions, losses, and school/career/life transitions can leave us wondering where the joy went and whether it will ever get better. Other times we just know something seems off, we feel stuck, and we need help figuring it out or getting past it. If any of this sounds familiar, please know that you don’t need to live with excessive worry, sadness, shame, or uncertainty, regardless of your circumstances. There are MANY ways to get you feeling content, confident, at peace and fulfilled again; I am here to walk that journey with you!

Life can sometimes seem like just too much. Stressors like relationships, friendships, school, work, and family obligations can become too heavy to bear. Maybe there is a trauma you have carried for years that you still aren't quite sure how to handle. Maybe you are questioning aspects of your identity and you aren't sure where to turn to speak honestly about them. Or, maybe you just need someone to talk to who can help you process your daily life. That's where counseling can come in.

Finding steadier ground starts here!
You may be functioning on the outside, but internally feeling overwhelmed by anxiety, trauma, or the pressure of holding everything together. Many of the people I work with describe feeling stuck in patterns they understand logically but can’t seem to shift emotionally.
Therapy can be a space to slow down, make sense of what you’ve been carrying, and begin to feel more grounded, present and in control of your life again.

Brianna believes we all have an innate wisdom inside of us that’s always there & that we enter this world w/ more access to it than ever before. She also believes that we enter this world w/ unique parts that make up our complete whole - our psyche. These parts can be wonderfully unique & terrific attributes of our personality - our strengths. However, trauma can drive these parts of ourselves into extreme roles. Despite meaning well, they can create emotional & behavioral patterns that are seen as bad, shameful, or unwanted by those closest to us - leaving survivors feeling deeply broken, unworthy, & unfamiliar on a cellular level.
