I am passionate about helping individuals find hope and healing by the process of therapy. I have a holistic approach to understanding my clients and seek to capitalize on their strengths and talents. I view therapy as a collaborative process. I welcome all parts of you to this space, including your Christian faith. As we work together, it is my goal to support you, encourage you, and help you to make sense of your past as you disentangle it from your present. My office is a caring and safe environment to begin transforming your pain to growth. In 2017, I received my training at Christian Theological Seminary (CTS) in Indianapolis, graduating Magna Cum Laude with a Master of Arts in Clinical Mental Health Counseling; Later in 2022, I obtained a Doctor of Ministry degree in Practical Theology with a focus on Pastoral Care at CTS. My training focused on psychodynamic theories and techniques in working with individuals, and my theoretical orientation is eclectic as I draw on various therapies and techniques to meet the unique needs of each client; psychodynamic, cognitive behavioral therapy, client-centered and motivational interviewing are some regularly used approaches. I am a licensed mental health counselor (LMHC), having 5+ years of serving individuals with mental health concerns and life challenges. The goal is to walk alongside, support, and challenge people as we work together in meeting therapy goals.
In our first session, we will begin with introductions and then dive into your specific challenges and concerns. We will discuss mental health diagnoses and the process of forming treatment goals and a plan together. The plan is to create a space where you feel comfortable and safe as we begin the therapeutic relationship; this may involve explaining the therapy process in more detail and answering your questions.
I especially enjoy working with clients who have concerns in the areas of faith, grief, self-esteem/self-worth, intimacy, and relationships. I have experienced success in serving such individuals over the past years. Your care will be tailored to help you grow in these areas. For instance, if you're struggling with poor self-esteem, I may walk you through self-affirmations in session and provide prompts for journaling afterward. Also experienced in: Family conflicts , Trauma and abuse , Parenting issues , Anger management , Career difficulties , Depression , Coping with life changes , Coaching , Compassion fatigue , Abandonment , Aging and Geriatric Issues , Attachment Issues , Read more...
Ideal clients include adults of all ages who are seeking personal growth in their understanding of self, relationships, and/or experiences. Clients who come to therapy already having goals in mind or eager to work with the counselor in setting goals tend to be more successful and pleased with their therapy experience. In return, it is quite rewarding take part in a client's success and working with a driven mindset can make all the difference.
Other specialties
I identify as
Christian Counseling
I understand that Christian Counseling, or faith-based counseling, may mean different things to various people. In my practice, it means that together, you and I invite God into the therapy room. At your request, I may pray before and/or after the session. I will utilize both, behavioral science and biblical perspectives to help you grow in your treatment goals. Affirmations, confessions, renunciations, and repentance are some faith-based practices that may be relevant to your therapy process. The Bible says in Proverbs 11:14, Where there is no counsel, the people fall. But in the multitude of counselors, there is safety. Let this be a safe place to process your thoughts, feelings, and experiences in a way to promotes spiritual growth and healing.
Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
CBT is a commonly used treatment method in which I help individuals change or elevate their thinking and behaviors. Homework assignments are often provided; some are creative and others are as simple as journaling on a topic to bring about gain clarity and self-understanding.

My session with Dr. Finney was amazing. It was if I’ve talked to her before she made it very soothing to be transparent, and her ability to listen was great. I also felt a connection that she really understood where I was at. I believe with intentionality and consistency that I will be able to achieve the goals that I have as well as the healing. Need to move forward. I am thankful for growth therapy, and the connection and I look forward to my next session.

I believe she truly wants to help, she’s a great listener and gives good feedback. However, she's also willing to adjust with a bit more information so she can understand where you're coming from and then provide advice accordingly. I also appreciate how she helps me in my spiritual journey.

Sessions with Dr. Brianna have been thought provoking and clarifying. I am so happy to have the opportunity to work with her and grow in faith as a believer and also learn and develop skills I need to be the best version of me possible.
