Hello kind soul, I'm Brittany! Do you feel like you're on the "struggle bus?" Does life feel heavy, causing you to feel stagnant, or do you find that you're constantly questioning yourself? Are you noticing patterns within your life that may be rooted in trauma that you may or may not have addressed? Are you a member of the BIPOC or LGBTQ+ community searching for a therapist that you actually connect with and makes you feel seen? I have a true passion for unearthing the power within others that inspires them to live authentically as their best selves. Whether it's high functioning anxiety, life transitions, relationship distress, or dealing with oppressions of the world- I work side by side with you as we embark on a new functional and fufilling chapter of your journey. I utilize a person centered approach with every client I work with, while integrating evidence based CBT and DBT interventions if necessary. I also have additional training in both of these modalities which allows me to take an active coaching stance. My positive spirit and kind heart serve as the ultimate counterpart in my ability to reflect the truth. Additionally, I have a specialized interest in facilitating therapy with members of the BIPOC community to promote healing. I have nearly a decade of experience working in mental health treatment in a variety of clinical settings such as residential, outpatient, nonprofit, and virtually. I've worked specifically with young adults, adolescents, and adults in life transitions. My experience has granted me the opportunity to work with an array of diagnoses and varying acuity levels. I received my Master's degree in Clinical Psychology from Antioch university and my pronouns are she/her. In my free time, you can catch me self-caring, traveling, or spending time with my baby girl and partner!
What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?
In our first session together, we'll start with brief introductions, then I'll be gathering more information about you as well as your current challenges to assess how I may be able to support you best.
What treatment methods and tools do you utilize?
I utilize a person centered, humanistic approach to every client. You will feel unconditional positive regard, and non judgmental ness from me, while I also hold you accountable to the goals that we create together. I use CBT and DBT tools also, which are both evidence based modalities. I also have training in EMDR for trauma if needed, and Mindfulness Based Stress Reduction. I believe in tailoring my skills specific to each client, by meeting you right where you're at. If you're needing more of a solution focused orientation we can go that route, and if you're needing more in depth exploratory therapy that brings forth introspection we can go that route as well. I'm here for you.
Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.
My niches are working with young adults in life transitions, clients of color, teenagers, new mothers in postpartum, and incorporating astrology into our work together. If that last one resonates with you, we can discuss more in depth what that looks like when we meet!
Describe the client(s) you are best positioned to serve.
I love working with young professionals who are in the first few years of their careers. My clients are eager to improve, but don't yet have the tools needed to make this goal a reality. They often feel stuck, overwhelmed and anxious about their careers.
