I'm Brittany, trained in trauma, anxiety, depression, sex & relationships, and an expert in the mind-body connection (somatic responses) w/in therapy.
Hey Wonder-Woman! It truly is a wonder how you wear so many hats, saving so many people, juggling so many tasks. Are you feeling worn down and burnt out? Are you struggling with friendships or having trouble connecting with your partner intimately? Feeling like your love-life is non-existent? Are you starting to feel stuck, empty, or unmotivated; maybe even anxious, plagued with worry, and overwhelmed? It can feel quite unbearable when all these emotions and racing thoughts are filling your daily life. You want to feel peace in your mind, heart, and relationships, but instead you feel turmoil; I understand.

I affirm differences including body positivity, sex/kink positivity, LGBTQ+, ethical non-monogamy, and neurodivergent identities.
Are you feeling the impulse to explore who you are behind the masks? Do you yearn for freedom from unhealthy relationship dynamics and behavior patterns holding you back from the life you know you’re meant to have? Do you seek real, lasting change, progress, and happiness? Do you feel like you’ve tried it all, but nothing sticks? Do you believe you need help identifying your limiting beliefs, overcoming your hardships, and getting the life you’ve always wanted? I aim to guide those who are ready to slow down and do the inner healing required to leave their unhealthy cycles and reconnect with the highest versions of themselves.

**Teletherapy Option Available** The decision to come to therapy typically arises when we reach a point where we say "I can't do this alone." The "this" could be anything; maybe you are experiencing significant stressors at work or in your relationship; perhaps you've had years of trying to manage symptoms of trauma, depression or anxiety alone, and you're tired; it could be that your relationship or family has gone through a major change, and you are struggling to adjust. Whatever the issue is, I am happy that you have acknowledged that support is needed, and in that acknowledgment you are on your way to progress already.
