I provide an empathetic and safe place where you can be yourself without fear of judgment.

Counseling is a journey and our first step is to define where you want to go. I see myself walking besides you in this journey and guiding you towards your chosen destination. Counseling consists of defining problems, understanding relevant history, and designing interventions to alter behaviors, feelings, attitudes, and thought patterns. My intention is to listen, validate, and empower your abilities. I hold compassion to those that want to process their thoughts and feelings.

Your needs and challenges are unique to you and I am here to help support you in finding a pathway to healing. My approach to therapy is strengths-based and maintains that each person is the expert on their own lives. I use a trauma-informed approach to assess the individual needs of each person I work with. Additionally, I utilize the person-in-environment theory, which emphasizes that one’s environment plays a crucial role in their mental health and overall wellbeing. I will share with you the tools you need to succeed and provide you with support along the way.

My name is Brianna and I am a therapist in Washington State. Therapy is an opportunity to engage in self-exploration in a world that can commonly feel uncertain and grey. Let's face it, life can be confusing at times for everybody. No matter what age, it can be hard to manage life stressors and cope with daily challenges, which is why building a strong therapeutic relationship is so important. As a therapist, it is my goal to create a safe space for you to build upon self-awareness in order to find the best version of you.

I am currently welcoming couples and families who are committed to nurturing their relationships. They may be navigating communication barriers, emotional disconnects, or transitional life stages. These clients seek a collaborative space to fortify their bonds, develop understanding, and foster a healthy family dynamic. Their objective is to achieve harmony and a deeper connection, ultimately enhancing their collective well-being.

My passion for helping my clients involves providing the space to feel heard, validated, and empowered to commit to positive behavioral health changes for themselves, interpersonally and with the world around them. My theoretical lens is grounded through my studies and practice in humanistic theory, attachment-based theory, child development, and family systems theory. I strive to help individuals and when working with families, to develop healthier communication, interpersonal, behavioral, relational and coping skills to strengthen both their interpersonal relationships and positive behaviors, for overall mental well-being.

I specialize in supporting individuals through grief, depression, and anxiety. I know how difficult it can be, when you experience any of these barriers; sometimes just getting out of bed can be difficult.

My approach to counseling uses a person-centered perspective with a focus on hope, strength, and empowerment. I also use an integrative approach of mindfulness, relaxation, art, acceptance and commitment therapy, and cognitive behavioral therapy when working with people. I believe that all people have the capacity to grow and move forward. They just need some additional support and a person to walk with them. And that is where I come in.

The moment we start to think "who am I," "why am I like this," or "is this the true version of who I am" are moments I consider to be breakthroughs. Moments of self-reflection can be difficult to understand, difficult to seek answers, and just the thought seems bizarre or confusing. At times it may not even be self-reflection. Instead, it is the feeling of guilt, shame, worthlessness, or insecurities. It can also show up as anxiety, depression, emotional dysregulation, somatic symptoms, interpersonal challenges, or strain in quality of life. This is the result of exposure to or experiences of neglect and abuse during our lifetime.
