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 parent who is neurodivergent or are parenting a neuro spicy kiddo? 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 fulfilling 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 working with parents of kids who have ADHD or have have ADHD themselves. 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 babies and partner!

Get to know me

In our first session together, here's what you can expect

Your first session is all about you and there's no pressure to have it all figured out or know exactly what you want to say. We'll spend our time together getting to know each other, talking about what brought you in, and starting to map out what you actually want your life and healing to look like. I'll ask a lot of questions because I genuinely want to understand your world, your brain, and what's felt missing. By the time we wrap up, my goal is that you leave feeling heard, seen, and maybe even a little lighter than when you walked in!

The treatment methods and tools I 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.

The biggest strengths that I bring into our sessions

Honestly? My greatest strength is that I genuinely love this work, and I think people can feel that. I didn't accidentally end up working with neurodivergent adults and parents. I sought this out. The individuals who've spent years trying to fit into systems and frameworks that were never built for their brains, and who are ready, finally, to try something different. Getting to be part of that shift for someone is something I feel deeply honored to do. I start where you actually are. Not where a textbook says you should be. Not where a checklist assumes you are. I want to know how your brain works, what's already clicked for you in the past, what hasn't, and why. From there, we build something that's actually shaped around you. That means the strategies I bring into our sessions aren't generic. They're adapted to fit the way you're wired, which is kind of the whole point. A lot of my clients have tried therapy before and walked away feeling like they were doing it wrong. They weren't. They just needed an approach that worked with their brain instead of around it. That's what I try to be. I am genuinely, truly adaptable. And I mean that in the deepest sense. This isn't just about swapping out one technique for another. It's about showing up to every single session without a fixed agenda for who you should be or how your healing is supposed to look. I don't have a script. I have curiosity, flexibility, and a real commitment to figuring out what actually works for you, even if that looks completely different from what worked for the last person I sat with. That's what true open-mindedness looks like to me. Meeting you inside the worldview that already makes sense to you, and working from there. I make things practical and applicable. I love the insight piece of therapy. Understanding why we do what we do matters so much. But I also know that insight without a bridge to actual change can start to feel like spinning your wheels. So we build skills, practice things, and figure out what you're going to do differently this week, not someday. I draw from CBT, DBT, and mindfulness, but I hold all of it pretty loosely. If something isn't landing for you, we try something else. No attachment to the "right" approach here, just what actually helps. I take the shame out of the room. For good. One of my favorite things clients tell me is that they feel less ashamed of themselves after we work together. And honestly, that might be the thing I'm most proud of. Here's what I know to be true: most neurodivergent people have spent a lifetime collecting evidence that something is wrong with them. Every forgotten thing, every blown-up moment, every routine that fell apart, every time they couldn't just do the thing everyone else seemed to do so effortlessly. That evidence piles up. And over time it stops feeling like "I made a mistake" and starts feeling like "I am a mistake." That story ends in my office. Not because I'm going to talk you out of your struggles or slap a positive spin on hard things. But because I am genuinely, unconditionally in your corner. There is nothing you can bring into our sessions that will make me see you as less than. No pattern too messy, no moment you're too ashamed to say out loud, no version of yourself too far from where you want to be. You will be met with warmth. Every single time. A huge part of the work we do together is learning to see yourself through that same compassionate lens. Not performing self-acceptance, but actually building it. Understanding that so much of what you've been criticized for, or criticized yourself for, makes complete sense when you understand how your brain is wired. That what looked like not caring was often a nervous system in survival mode. That what felt like failure was often just a mismatch between your brain and a world that wasn't designed for it. Self-acceptance isn't a destination we arrive at and check off. It's something we practice together, slowly, until it starts to feel more natural than the self-criticism ever did. And I'll be honest, watching that shift happen in someone is one of the greatest privileges of this work. You don't have to earn your place in this space. You already have it. I bring my whole self into the room. I'm warm. I'm direct. I'll laugh with you in the middle of a hard conversation if that's what the moment calls for. I ask a lot of questions and I genuinely care about the answers. I'm not a blank slate and I don't pretend to be. You'll know where I stand, and you'll know I'm in your corner. I work best with people who want a therapist who's present and engaged, who will be honest with them, and who genuinely celebrates the small wins alongside them. Because the small wins are everything. Most of all, I want this to feel like it was made for you. Because it is. Whatever combination of things brings you here, whether it's parenting, your own ADHD journey, burnout, relationships, or just wanting to finally feel like yourself, I want the work we do together to feel like a deep exhale. Like you've been holding your breath for a long time, and here you can finally let it go. You deserve that. And I would love to help you get there.

The clients I'm best positioned to serve

Maybe you're a parent who loves your neurodivergent kid fiercely but secretly wonders why the parenting advice that works for everyone else just... doesn't. You're not looking for someone to tell you to try harder. You're looking for tools that were actually built for brains like yours and theirs. Maybe you're neurodivergent yourself, and you're done white-knuckling your way through systems that were never designed for you. You want to stop fighting your brain and start working with it. You're curious about what acceptance actually looks like in practice, not just as a concept, but as a daily, lived thing. Or maybe you're a young professional who's high-functioning on the outside and quietly exhausted on the inside. You've achieved things, you're capable, and you still feel like you're always one dropped ball away from everything falling apart. You want strategies that fit your actual life, not a productivity framework built for someone else. What all three of you have in common: you're done pretending neurotypical solutions are going to click if you just try hard enough. You're ready for a different approach. One that honors how your brain is wired, meets you where you are, and gives you something you can actually use tomorrow morning. That's exactly what I'm here for.

I have been working with Brittany for about a year and a half. She gets me, she is compassionate, understanding, and helps me to have compassion for myself. She is intelligent and knowledgeable about fibromyalgia which is helpful to me.
