(she/her)
I have spent the past 10 years supporting adults and caregivers as they navigate the profound challenges of chronic illness, cancer, and other life-altering diagnoses. As your therapist, my goal is to provide a safe and compassionate space where we can explore meaningful ways to create lasting change in your life. Using evidence-based approaches such as CBT, ACT, solution-focused, and mindfulness, I am here to help you process and navigate the complex emotions that often accompany these experiences. In addition to my clinical work, I am an adjunct social work professor, teaching courses on Grief, Loss, and Social Welfare, as well as Social Work in Organizations. I am also the author of Making It Mine, an interactive book that shares the stories of teens and young adults navigating a parent’s cancer diagnosis.
In our first session, you can expect a warm and supportive space where we begin to explore what brings you to therapy and what you hope to gain from our work together. I will take the time to understand your experiences, concerns, and goals, ensuring that our approach is tailored to your unique needs.
With a decade of experience supporting adults and caregivers through chronic illness, cancer, and life-altering diagnoses, I bring a profound understanding of the emotional and practical challenges my clients face. I offer a compassionate and client-centered approach creating a safe and supportive space where clients feel truly heard, ensuring that therapy is tailored to their unique needs, priorities, and goals. Lastly, I am able to help my clients navigate complex emotions – guiding them through grief, fear, and uncertainty with sensitivity and insight, helping them find strength and healing even in the most difficult circumstances.
I believe therapy should be deeply personal and tailored to your unique needs, priorities, and goals. Together, we will work collaboratively to honor your story and identify the path forward that feels right for you. It is a privilege to walk alongside clients as they confront their deepest fears and discover the strength to face the unimaginable. Many of my clients have shared that they feel truly heard and supported, gaining new insights and finding healing and growth through our work together.

Brie was exactly who I was looking for to help me process losing my dad to cancer. She spent the first session listening to me share his/my entire story and already was able to give me tools to help me through the day.
