Therapists in Plano, TX

I specialize in working with women with eating disorders, pregnancy and postpartum challenges, and trauma (of all kinds). I use a collaborative counseling approach and highly value the therapist-client relationship. As a therapist, I am committed to establishing a safe place for you to process current struggles, identify and explore the deeper “root issues,” and improve coping and daily functioning.

Life isn't easy for any of us. We suffer with more anxiety, stress, and overwhelm than ever. Let's face it- stuff happens! However, it's not the "stuff" that happens to us that can cause these feelings, it is how we respond to the circumstances that make the difference in the joy and balance in our lives. I like to connect with my clients and truly get into their world, so I can best serve them. My job is to help them help themselves and equip them to change their own lives. Nothing changes until SOMETHING changes.

Do you find yourself engaging in unwanted repetitive behaviors? Are you depressed and consistently anxious, but you’re not sure why? Using a holistic approach, I work with you to understand the source of what brought you to therapy. In addition to identifying and treating symptoms in the short-term, we will work together to find the deeper, root causes for your symptoms, so you can achieve a more permanent freedom instead of simply coping.

As a clinician, I work with individual adult clients in addressing a variety of issues (e.g. mood concerns, communication issues, anger management, emotion regulation, domestic violence, other past abuse, career counseling, etc.) I assist in addressing Depression, Anxiety, Self-awareness, Substance Use/Addictions, etc. I hold a Masters in Counseling Psychology and a Masters & Ph.D. in Industrial-Organizational Psychology. As an Industrial-Organizational Consultant, I work with individuals & businesses contingent on specific needs including Mergers & Acquisitions, Leadership coaching, Retention, Training, Employee engagement, & more.

Having raised four children, two of whom we adopted, I am able to understand the unique needs and stains of both motherhood and children trying to find their place, the stresses of being a mother and how our thoughts and feelings effect our relationships. It wasn’t easy to find a therapist that used mercy and truth. But through those challenges, I learned patience and listening skills that allowed me to assist my clients in achieving their goals.

You know how sometimes we examine our situation and wonder how it is that we got here? There's so much going on in the world today. In examining our current state we can experience a mixture of emotions: fear, frustration, and a longing for something different. This is normal. However, sometimes these feelings can become more overwhelming than we would like, and they begin to affect us in different areas of our life such as work, family, and relationships.

We are living in an unprecedented time where navigating uncertainty has become universal experience. You may find that you are having an especially hard time coping and adjusting to challenges such as working from home, working longer hours to stay employed, difficulty sleeping or and/or managing stress just to name a few. You might be exhausted, stressed out, burnt out, and can't even fathom how you will keep this going for even one more day let alone a week. No matter what you are currently facing I want you to know two things: 1) you are not alone and 2) there is hope. My name is Brittany and I am here to help.

Life is full of trial and challenges. To proclaim that one has a perfect life is a myth! Are you confused, in despair, helpless and life feels like a rut?

Processing one's thoughts and emotions aids in inner healing, personal growth and development.

Anxiety is a thief. It robs us of our peace and happiness. Anxiety steals our ability to focus and concentrate making us less productive. It kills our creativity and can destroy our ability to hope for the best. From difficult but manageable symptoms such as elevated heart rate, shallow breathing and tension all the way to completely debilitating full blown panic attacks, anxiety touches all of us from time to time. However, when these issues begin invading our emotional and physical space on a regular basis our lives become disrupted and even unmanageable.

I work with couples to address ruptures from the past that were never fully repaired. I strive to create a safe space that fosters curiousity, empathy, and genuine connection. We will take the time we need to build our relationship. I see it as my role to acknowledge the complexities of your relationship while providing support as you heal.

My main passion in the counseling field is relationships. It is my belief that relationships are the foundation of life. We have relationships not only with others, but with ourselves, our higher power, and the world around us. Often times, when our relationships are suffering, we are suffering. It is my goal to help you identify which relationship needs healing and to set goals to find that healing to help bring wholeness to your life.
