What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?

The goal of the first session is an intake to determine whether I am an appropriate fit as a therapist for you. We will review the intake forms and discuss reasons for seeking therapy to determine broad goals for treatment.

Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.

Brittany believes that a safe, trusting relationship is the pathway to healing. She sees the therapeutic process as a collaborative effort in helping clients achieve their goals. She takes a holistic approach and explores the influence of society, relationships, the family system, spirituality/faith, & social and physical wellbeing on mental health experiences. Brittany is skilled in building interpersonal relationships, relaying empathy and compassion, and meeting each individual where they are in order to assist where they want or need to go. She looks forward to knowing you and is honored to be considered as part of your healing.
