It can be difficult to ask for help, but particularly when you're struggling to define the problem itself. As time passes, we may wonder about our upbringing, or whether our consistent struggles might be rooted in definable conditions, rather than being evidence of character flaws. With 6 years of experience, I work with both teens, and adults who are struggling with ADHD, Autism, Anxiety, Depression, and Intergenerational/Complex Trauma (CPTSD). I utilize a Humanistic approach, CBT, Existential Theory, and The Reflective Process to support you on the path to reaching your personal growth goals.

Choosing a therapist that you connect with is often the most important aspect to successful therapy. It can be daunting to find the right fit and scary to expose yourself. If you really want to know Brittany from her bio and how she operates, words like tenacious, bold, relatable, multifaceted, humble and genuine. Brittany's approach is infused with immense compassion and being straightforward- talking to people like they are people using language that they understand and are comfortable with versus professional language that can create a power shift that influences dynamics for a working relationship.

Sometimes personal thoughts and feelings about life can be upsetting, disturbing, seem incomprehensible or even unchangeable. Over time these kinds of experiences can erode our personal sense of vitality, meaningfulness, freedom, and overall wellbeing. Although we know that some suffering is a normal part of life, suffering needlessly or endlessly simply does not have to be. In my office I provide a quiet, comfortable, respectful, and very confidential atmosphere.

Being a caregiver for a loved one who has a chronic or terminal illness can be a rewarding and fulfilling experience. It also comes with stresses that can be hard for friends and family to understand. Being a person who needs help to manage day to day activities of living can also be hard to handle, even if the help is appreciated. Sudden life changes are difficult to navigate; such as loss of a loved one, death of a pet, or diagnosis of a debilitating disease. Even positive changes like retirement, downsizing, or relocation can be painful at times. Talking it through can help.

I am an eclectic provider with a background in existential psychology.
If you are hoping to improve your relationship with your mind and body, but find that traditional therapy environments haven't helped, it's giving trauma! I am an EMDR-trained clinical social worker and I consider trauma to be a universal lived experience. I understand the role of somatic experiencing as integral to adaptation and change. I love working with clients who identify as queer, chronically ill and/or neurodivergent. As a lover of strength sports, I offer EMDR therapy for sports performance to help you clear mental blocks and adapt after injury.

There is no need to suffer in silence. Over the years I have heard people say, "I regret that I waited so long to come to counseling." When people struggle with life's challenges alone, they usually have little success. This solitary method often results in a deep sense of hopelessness and unhappiness. At the Samaritan Counseling Center, it has been my privilege to empower men, women and adolescents to make their lives more fulfilling. During counseling sessions, you will experience a safe environment to tell your story-and then together, we will begin the journey to hope and healing.

Existential Therapists

How does existential therapy work?

Existential therapy focuses on a patient’s inner experiences. The therapist tries to help the individual comprehend and alleviate symptoms by exploring their interior life. By confronting negative disquiet and emotions, the individual will hopefully become more open to finding meaning and purpose. This therapy can be administered to individuals or groups.

Is existential therapy evidence-based?

Existential therapy is an evidence-based practice. Research has determined that existential therapy can lead to significant improvement in the mental health of patients, and for some people it can be just as effective as cognitive behavioral therapy. The benefits of existential therapy are enduring, even long after treatment has ended.

How long does existential therapy last?

The goal of existential therapy is to understand a person’s internal experiences, which may sound like a lengthy process, but it does not have to be so in-depth. However, sessions are not short-term, and therapy can continue for months or up to a year. And because patients learn the theory behind existential therapy during treatment, they can also practice its tenets throughout life after therapy sessions have been completed.

Is existential therapy effective?

According to research, many patients find success with existential therapy. Researchers note that the therapy is particularly useful in improving feelings of isolation, feelings of purposelessness, as well as conditions such as anxiety and depression. Improvements in problem areas can persist even after the end of existential therapy, as individuals can continue working on themselves by using the tools they’ve developed during treatment.
