Many of us are looking for a place to feel safe and connected. Somewhere we can feel heard and seen. As a therapist, I work hard to provide acceptance, unconditional positive regard and empathy to build a strong therapeutic relationship. The work I do is deeply rooted in my belief that everyone can find success. I believe that everyone has the ability to reach their highest potential once they have overcome the obstacles that stand in their way. In our work together, I help provide support in identifying barriers and creating a tailored plan for individual needs. Through collaboration and support we can work to find healing.

Hi! I am Brittany. I help adolescents and adults explore ways to work through life’s challenges, set healthy boundaries, create kindness within themselves, and improve their connection with themselves and others. While I work with several issues, my jam is working with clients that are dealing with high levels of anxiety, working through life transitions, and struggling with self-esteem.

Maybe you are feeling overwhelmed, constantly anxious, or like you no longer want to get out of bed in the morning. Maybe you are miserable, apathetic or afraid all the time and you don't know how to regain balance. Maybe you've gone through a lot of changes recently, or you've lost a lot of close relationships. Maybe your closest relationship is causing you pain and stress, and you want to figure out how to better navigate it. Maybe you're struggling with an addiction and it's making it hard to go to school or work. Or maybe something really terrible happened in your life and you feel stuck.

I truly believe we are intended to feel connected and loved by others. When this does not happen then it can create insecure attachments impacting multiple areas of your life. People often hold onto negative beliefs about themselves or the world that impact their relationship and daily life more than you may realize. I believe your past does not define you, but may describe a lot of symptoms you are experiencing. With an attachment-based framework and trauma-informed approach, I hold so much hope for those looking to find abundance in their lives.

Evening sessions available! Accepting new clients! Limited income-based (sliding scale) spots available. I do not have an "ideal" client. Instead, I strive to be the "ideal" therapist for each client. Every client presents with different problems, different goals, and different motivators. Therefore, it is my job as the therapist to meet each client where they are at and provide them with the services they need and deserve. The one thing that I believe all clients have in common is the desire to take action that will promote them to a higher level of functioning in their every day life.

Life problems can create feelings of depression, loneliness, hopelessness, and anxiety. In therapy we explore the reasons for self-defeating behavior. As we become more aware of what we do and why, we can begin to make the necessary changes for a happier, more fulfilling life. Who would you be if you were all that you can be? The ability to be fully yourself, comfortable in your own skin, enjoying your relationships - these possibilities are in you, no matter how great the obstacles you have met in your life. Working together, we will build on your strengths, heal your relationship with yourself, and create lasting change.

Are you becoming who you want to be? Are you overwhelmed by anxiety, negative thoughts, or self-doubt? Do you feel your emotions are controlling you? Are you struggling with the unknowns surrounding becoming financially independent, beginning, or ending a relationship, starting a career or making other major life decisions? Are you ready to heal from unhealthy relationships? You may remember a time when negative thoughts, strained relationships, and feeling overwhelmed weren’t the “norm”…but those days seems like a distant memory. Don’t you wish you had the tools to change that?

What happened to you? This is the question that should be asked when a person decides to confront their trauma. So much of the focus is on "What is wrong with you?" that we fail to take in the traumatic events that led us here. Let’s work together to confront your trauma and make those healing steps forward. While I take special interest in traumatic experiences, I also have extensive experience working with anxiety, depression, panic attacks, low self-esteem, OCD, life transitions, bipolar disorders, personality disorders, and major depressive disorder.

Please come see me even if you have tried therapy many times but still haven't given up on healing! My goal as a therapist is to have a large bag of tools for you so that we can find a technique that you respond to best. I love working with creative people, people who are suffering from anxiety, depression, conflict, people who have chronic pain despite medication adherence and people who are just plain confused about why they feel the way they do. I don't believe that any one approach works for every person, and want to work with you collaboratively to find out what it is that you need for your unique life story.

If you've tried counseling before and feel like it didn't "work" or it wasn't a good fit for you but still feel like there are some unresolved issues or things you want to work on, I'd encourage you to try one more time. I could give you a lot of mental health jargon, but really my main mission in the work I do is to create a comfortable, warm relationship where you can feel SEEN and KNOWN and through that process start healing and reach the goal(s) YOU want to acheive. Maybe you're thinking, "But you're online only... how does THAT create a warm comfortable relationship?"
