Life is an amazing journey ... but it can be hard, and present challenges that leave us feeling vulnerable, uncertain and off-balance (not ourselves). Life/Work Psychotherapy was created to give adults a safe space to talk about relationship + work issues, and the painful feelings that go along with them. With over 30 years of experience, I take a collaborative approach to exploring options for greater satisfaction, success and peace of mind. I acknowledge how unique our lived experiences are, and seek to understand every individual in the context of these experiences.

You feel the weight of old wounds—childhood hurts, family patterns, the sense you’re never quite “enough.” Maybe anxiety keeps you on alert, or you notice the same conflicts showing up in your relationships. Parenting, partnering, or simply showing up as yourself can feel exhausting.
I help adults heal those hidden injuries so they can live from a place of authenticity and self-compassion. Together we’ll work gently but deeply, using somatic and relational approaches like Brainspotting, Internal Family Systems, and Acceptance & Commitment Therapy.

Are you a burnt out parent? Overworked? Feeling especially angry? Crying more frequently? Yelling at the dog? Disinterested in fun activities? A cynic? Uncomfy with being vulnerable? Unable to identify emotions or feel them? Known to ruin relationships before they ruin you? ...Enter, Brittanie!

After experiencing a devastating series of personal, relational, occupational, family, social, and spiritual obstacles in my life, my self-talk was often self-defeating. I was discontent, lacking purposeful, meaningful contact with others, and felt empty inside instead of accepting my reality and the changing interactions between the environment, others, and myself. I was caught between staying the same and recognizing and embracing change. Whether you are in a time of transition or a time of pain, I believe we all have the tools we need to walk toward a loving and meaningful life.

People come to me for many reasons. Some are navigating life transitions like retirement, grief and loss, caregiving stress, health changes, or stepping into a new life chapter. Others are living with ongoing struggles like feeling anxious, depressed/sad, struggling with unhealed trauma, or relationship challenges. Or sometimes it's a couple who wants to strengthen their connection and communicate more openly and honestly.
I work with adults across the lifespan and have a special place in my heart for older adults and caregivers. Their stories, resilience, and wisdom continue to shape how I show up in my work.

They care deeply about their relationships and work and desire self-improvement and expertise in their lives.

Look at you! Come on, self-improvement! Therapy isn’t just for people who have a problem or issue to deal with. You can come to this space and feel seen, heard, and like you matter, because you do. The journey through life isn’t a straight road. It’s filled with twists and turns and bumps and climbs. One day, I can navigate it through light rain and cloudy skies. The next day can be driving up hill in a thunderstorm, downpour, gale force winds, and dark clouds. Not to mention, whose car is this, and how did I even get in it?! Having resilience doesn’t mean running away. Resilience is being terrified and facing it anyway.

Life often feels heavy when you’re doing everything you can to hold it together. Anxiety, shame, disconnection, or burnout can build slowly until they demand attention. I work with men who are ready to face what’s beneath the surface—to find clarity, purpose, and genuine connection in their lives and relationships.
