I have been trained in DBT, CBT, and ACT which allow me to help my clients with regulating emotions, correcting negative thinking patterns, and understanding their values system.
All of us have to deal with stress, pain, and change, and we all know that it's not easy. But I am a firm believer that having support and being equipped with processing tools can make all the difference. I would love to provide those resources to you and am currently accepting new clients! I have experience working with people of a wide range of ages and situations, but I specialize in working with teens and young adults.

I have also utilized modalities such as CBT and DBT in practice.
Hello, I'm Brynn, and I'm so happy you found me. I know you may feel like you’re ready to commit to giving therapy a try. But perhaps there is some fear as well. Maybe you’ve had a bad experience with therapy in the past. Or maybe you were raised to think negatively about seeking mental health help. I would love the opportunity to get to know you and make you feel heard. My goal is to help those I work with feel empowered and hopeful. To do that we may use EMDR, and other ways to help connect those parts of you that may feel disconnected. So let’s talk through some of the things you’ve been feeling and come up with a plan together.

Dialectical Behavioral and Emotionally Focused Therapy techniques for emotion and behavior based difficulties.
We as people tend to become comfortable with behaviors that make us uncomfortable. As strange as it might sound, we are drawn to the easy and familiar instead of things that might be good for us. This is where anxiety, depression, trauma and addiction thrive. If you're reading this, you have already taken the first step toward becoming a better, more confident, and more satisfied version of yourself. If you are ready and committed to improving yourself, I am here to help you through your journey.

I am trained in a variety of modalities, including: CBT, DBT, EFT, EMDR, IFS, and Solution-focused therapies.
I am a Certified Clinical Trauma Professional (CCTP) and am experienced in treating trauma, anxiety, and panic. When people have been dealing with these problems for a while, it can sometimes feel like things will never get better. But therapy can offer real pathways to recovery. Additionally, many of the people I treat are struggling with complex, strained, or toxic family relationships. I can help you to develop new perspective and establish boundaries to make these relationships as healthy as possible.

Life brings with it challenges and stresses for all of us that, at times, make the journey seem frightening and hopeless. Anxiety, depression, grief, anger, and trauma find their way into ALL of our lives to one degree or another. When we experience such times, we long for a deeper connection with our loved ones but are unable to find it. The good news is that we don’t need to suffer alone and there IS hope for healing and connection!

I use attachment based therapy and motivational interviewing as well as skills from CBT and DBT.
Each of us have beliefs and experiences that impact our ability to form meaningful relationships, accomplish goals, or accept ourselves. My hope is to help the individuals, couples and families I work with challenge these negative beliefs and guide them in using skills to develop a stronger sense of self and more stable relationships. Over the past decade I have specifically worked with adolescents, young adults and their families. I love this stage of life, the change that can take place is amazing if given the right tools. Balancing independence and connection for individuals and family is one of my main goals in therapy.
