Hi, I’m Brittany, a licensed Marriage & Family Therapist. I help adults and adolescents who are feeling overwhelmed by anxiety, stress, life transitions, or relationship challenges. Many of my clients are high-functioning but stuck in patterns of overthinking, self-criticism, or burnout. I take a collaborative, practical approach using evidence-based tools to help you feel calmer, more grounded, and better able to manage daily stress and life changes over time.
In our first session together, here's what you can expect
In our first session, we’ll focus on getting to know each other and understanding what brought you to therapy. I’ll ask about your background, current stressors, and what you’d like help with, and I’ll also explain how I work and what you can expect from therapy. The first session is also a chance to see if we’re a good fit. Feeling comfortable and understood is important, and while some clients notice relief early on, it’s also normal for trust and connection to build gradually over the first few sessions.
The biggest strengths that I bring into our sessions
I bring a calm, grounded presence to therapy and help clients feel heard and supported, especially during times of stress, change, or emotional overwhelm. I work well with adults and adolescents who are managing anxiety, self-criticism, or high levels of responsibility, and I help clients slow down, organize their thoughts, and build practical tools for coping with daily stress and life transitions. With nearly a decade of clinical experience, I balance understanding the bigger picture with concrete, evidence-based strategies. Clients often describe therapy with me as supportive, structured, and practical, helping them gain clarity, confidence, and skills they can use outside of sessions.
The clients I'm best positioned to serve
You may appear to be doing fine on the outside, but feel overwhelmed, anxious, stressed, or self-critical internally. I work with adults and adolescents who are navigating life transitions, increased responsibilities, or periods of change and want support managing stress, emotions, and challenges with focus, organization, or follow-through. If you tend to overthink, feel burned out, or struggle to stay grounded during stressful times, we’ll likely work well together. My approach is collaborative and practical, helping you build insight alongside coping and executive functioning skills so you can feel more regulated, confident, and supported in everyday life.
Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
I use CBT to help clients notice how their thoughts affect how they feel and act, and to learn practical ways to respond differently. I focus on tools that clients can use in real life, not just insight.
Dialectical Behavior (DBT)
I use DBT to help clients build skills for managing intense emotions, tolerating distress, and improving relationships. I focus on practical tools that help clients feel more stable and in control during difficult moments.
Mindfulness-Based Therapy
I use mindfulness to help clients slow down, notice what’s happening in their body and mind, and respond more intentionally instead of reacting on autopilot. The focus is on building awareness and regulation skills that support everyday stress and transitions.
Compassion Focused
I use compassion-focused approaches to help clients soften self-criticism and develop a more supportive inner voice. This is especially helpful for perfectionistic clients who are hard on themselves during stressful life changes.
