I value working collaboratively with my clients in a patient, authentic, and empathic manner to help empower individuals to find ways to more effectively navigate and cope with the challenges and stressors in their lives. I have experience working with children, adolescents, families, adults, and couples from a wide variety of racial, cultural, and socio-economic backgrounds. I've worked in crisis intervention with individuals experiencing suicidal ideation, as well as with individuals struggling with anxiety, depression, trauma, eating disorders, low self-esteem, substance use issues, relationship issues, and LGBTQ concerns.

I work with individuals, couples, and families who wish for some kind of change in their lives. Common therapeutic goals for the people I work with include, a desire for increased closeness with family and friends, the ability to experience feelings more clearly, a stronger sense of self-worth, and more effective communication within families. People often wish to develop the ability to tolerate individual and collective pain, without doing themselves and each other harm. Most are seeking compassion and understanding. My commitment is to offering that compassion, and to supporting people in achieving their own understanding.

Currently accepting new clients! I believe we all have the inner capacity to live fulfilling lives that feel authentic and meaningful. Therapy can be a way to uncover your innate capacity for healing and growth and reconnect with yourself. Together, we will explore patterns of thought and behavior that contribute to your current challenges. Bringing curiosity into our work, we will listen to what life is communicating and imagine new ways of relating that feel alive and hopeful. Developing a collaborative relationship rooted in compassion, respect and nonjudgment serves as our foundation.

My work as an Emotional Support Life Coach is enhanced by my background in psychotherapy and nursing. It brings a progressive approach to self-healing. Using a myriad of techniques including hypnotherapy, EMDR, Reiki and Neuro-Linguistic Programming, I work with individuals and families to identify personal strengths locked behind negative energy. I work to empower others to discover their truth, harmonize personal healing and define a positive pathway to life-long happiness. I specialize in treating trauma due to abuse, neglect, domestic violence, anger, anxiety, depression, grief and difficult relationships.

Experienced and Compassionate: Brigid’s approach to therapy is based on understanding each individual/couple/family needs, and then helping to form goals and strategies for facing challenges. Brigid approaches each person through the lens of their unique experience, specializing in assisting individuals with relationship problems, parenting challenges, blended family issues, depression, anxiety, chronic and acute medical conditions, grief, loss, trauma, substance use, caregiver/helping professionals, active duty military members and their families, relationship issues, life stage transitions, and identity formation and development.

I like to start by building trust and finding out what goals you want to set for yourself. A safe, encouraging atmosphere with no authoritarian or shaming attitudes is important. Humor is useful with couples, families or teens. Role-plays are a fun way to practice new relationship skills.

I provide psychological services to address a wide variety of concerns, challenges and transitions. I use approaches that have been scientifically shown to be effective. I view the therapeutic process as a partnership between myself and the client. My approach is adjusted to meet the unique needs of each individual client, and I seek to provide an open, supportive forum in which to explore your life and reach your personal goals. With my support you can identify the areas of your life that are not working and make a plan to create growth, change and improvement, allowing you to live the life you desire.

Hello - I am a counselor who is also a Board Certified Psychiatric Nurse with 40 years of experience, including 20 years of practicing Clinical Hypnosis for a myriad of issues: anxiety, trauma, depression, and pain, to name but a few. I also train clinicians to utilize Clinical Hypnosis and am an Approved Consultant for the American Society of Clinical Hypnosis. I focus on finding and treating the cause of the symptoms and in this way, most symptoms are markedly reduced and, often gone altogether. As a client, you and I would team up together and work cooperatively as a team!

Many of us have internal critical voices telling us: "Get it right! Achieve more! Work harder! That was stupid! Lose weight! Quit drinking so much! Stop being selfish! Stop caring about what others think!" You are familiar with the tapes that run in your head and keep you ruminating about your mistakes or worrying about the future. In Internal Family Systems (IFS) individual therapy & Intimacy from the Inside Out (IFIO) couple therapy, we recognize these messages as different aspects of our personality, or “parts” of us, who perhaps lead us to experiences of feeling anxious, depressed, or behaving harmfully to ourselves and others.

Life can present many unexpected challenges, emotionally, physically, and spiritually. These challenges impact our emotional wellbeing and our relationships. As your therapist, I will offer you the opportunity to reflect upon your life in a safe, respectful, and confidential environment. My area of expertise is Whole Mind-Body Psychotherapy which focuses on the interplay between physical health (body) and mental health (mind). We will identify how your life experiences are stored in your brain-body and influence your emotions, thinking, and behaviors. You will develop new pathways to promote a sense of well-being and inner strength.

Your days seem to blend together, grasped tightly in the hands of pressures and to-dos. Most of your energy is spent trying to avoid mistakes or “bad” situations, but this exhausts you. It’s possible that you even spend a lot of time worrying about others, people-pleasing, running yourself ragged trying to keep your head afloat in the water you hardly recognize as your life. As you try to sleep your brain replays everything you “should” have done differently, things you have to do tomorrow, and whether or not everything you’re doing is even enough. It feels sometimes like you don’t even have control over your own mind.

I provide a safe, confidential space for our work together. Each person seeks a therapist for their own personal reasons. Whether you feel stuck at an impasse, want more satisfying relationships, or seek freedom from difficult patterns- no matter your struggle, having a place to think and talk about what is bothering you may help. The outcome of therapy is unpredictable, though it often results in a greater sense of well-being and eases internal conflict. Together we can seek to understand what is going on and explore possibilities not previously considered.

My practice is built on a foundation of resilience, understanding and empowerment with a broader focus on life transitions and adjustments, grief & loss and mixed forms of depression and anxiety. Together, we'll spend our time collaboratively focused on promoting growth, self-awareness and building upon the existing strengths that you have. Through gentle humor and straightforward dialogue, my clinical style leans towards the interactive and follows a strengths-based approach. I believe that curiosity and self-reflection are critical in evolving towards a healthier and happier future.
