New to Grow
Hi, I’m Brittany — a licensed Marriage & Family Therapist who helps people navigate life transitions, anxiety, self-worth challenges, and relationship stress with empathy and practical tools. I take a collaborative, grounded approach, combining evidence-based strategies with compassion so you can feel more connected to yourself, manage stress more confidently, and create lasting, meaningful change in your life over time.
In our first session together, here's what you can expect
In our first session, we’ll spend time getting to know each other and talking about what brought you to therapy. I’ll ask about your background, what’s been feeling challenging lately, and what you’re hoping to get out of therapy, and I’ll also share more about how I work and what you can expect moving forward. The first session is also a chance for us to see if we’re a good fit. Feeling comfortable and understood is important to me, and while many clients feel some relief right away, it’s also completely normal for that sense of connection to build 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 genuinely heard and understood, especially during times of transition or emotional overwhelm. I’m skilled at working with high-functioning, self-critical clients and helping them slow down, make sense of their internal experience, and develop practical tools for managing anxiety, stress, and life changes. With almost a decade of clinical experience, I balance insight-oriented work with concrete strategies, meeting clients where they are and adapting therapy to their needs. Clients often share that therapy with me feels both supportive and practical, helping them gain clarity, confidence, and a stronger connection to themselves over time.
The clients I'm best positioned to serve
You may look like you’re doing “fine” on the outside, but internally feel overwhelmed, anxious, or hard on yourself. I work best with young adults, new parents, and people navigating major life transitions who are high-functioning, thoughtful, and often perfectionistic — the kind of people who hold a lot together for others but feel exhausted doing so. If you tend to overthink, struggle with self-criticism, or feel disconnected from yourself during periods of change, we’ll likely work well together. I value insight and practical tools, and I work collaboratively with clients who want to better understand themselves while also learning how to feel more grounded, regulated, and confident in daily 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.
