Sometimes, we all need a little perspective. When you're overwhelmed with pain, sadness, and/or anxiety, it can feel impossible to move forward. Having someone in your corner who can help motivate and support you throughout the change process can make all the difference.

I believe therapy is a tool for clients to be empowered and supported as they work toward their personal goals and cope with whatever life has thrown their way. I enjoy partnering with my clients as they strive to make meaning of these many challenges experienced across various stages in life. I have worked extensively with LGBTQ+ clients, those hailing from diverse backgrounds, as well as those working through trauma, anxiety, and depression. I am also interested to work with clients managing burnout in various high-pressure professions, and have extensive experience working with marginalized communities.

In therapy, Brittany maintains an integrative approach, incorporating Cognitive-Behavioral, Narrative, Solution-Focused and Brainspotting therapies. She also places strong emphasis on self-care and mindfulness. Brittany appreciates the importance of "being" with clients wherever they are on their journey.

Maybe you can't seem to find the "right" job, or the "right" man, or the "right" city, no matter how many options you try. Maybe you feel like you've let others determine your life choices. Maybe you know you're not on the path you should be, but have no clue what "your path" actually is. Call that a Quarter Life Crisis, call it "adulting" problems. No matter what you call it, if you're tired of feeling like you're wasting your life without a clear direction, I can help you get on the path YOU want to be on. In addition, I'm trained also in working with people in Narcissistic Abuse, Attachment Styles & Toxic Relationships.
