About me

My name is Briauna and I have a diverse clinical background spanning over 9 years. I have showcased my expertise in various domains, notably in critical care, which has lead to my decision to become a dedicated provider. I am both a family nurse practitioner and a psychiatric mental health nurse practitioner. Prior to Grow Therapy, I have provided invaluable assistance to patients in psychiatric crisis in both the emergency and urgent care settings. These experiences have given me profound insight into the intricate interplay between one’s mental health and physical well-being.

Get to know me

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

I utilize evidence-based practices tailored to foster healing and resilience among her clients. Our sessions will be aimed to empower individuals to achieve greater emotional balance and enhanced overall mental health. This approach is marked by empathy, respect, and a commitment to meet the unique needs of each individual, offering support that is both accessible and of the highest quality. I champion the idea that mental health is as vital as physical health, advocating for destigmatization and increased awareness to ensure that more people recognize the importance of seeking help.

The biggest strengths that I bring into our sessions

My extensive exposure to different mental health environments has not only enriched her understanding but also honed her ability to adeptly respond to the distinctive needs of each group. Her passion for mental health was ignited by a fascination with human behavior and the complexities of the mind, leading her to commit her career to understanding and treating mental health conditions with an emphasis on the criticality of early intervention.

The clients I'm best positioned to serve

In treating clients, my focus is on individuals holistically, looking at all aspects of their lives to provide the most efficient and highest quality care. My expertise enables me to diagnose and treat a wide range of mental health conditions, including anxiety disorders, depressive disorders, eating disorders and more.

I feel completely at ease with Briana, almost like I've known her for a long time. I never feel rushed and often our conversations stray to personal goings on and not only being a provider. She cares about financially making sure treatment is manageable, answers questions during our time in between sessions and generally I sign off in a better mood than I started.

Briauna has been very clear and informative about my care and medication since working with her. I feel confident in my responses and never hesitate to bring up any issues. I really appreciate the work she does and the care she puts into my overall health.
