Meet Brittany

Prior to private practice, I was a therapist in medical trauma centers serving diverse patients experiencing acute and chronic illness and injury, trauma, and mental health challenges. I believe therapy can empower you to more gently and confidently navigate your full range of emotions. With warmth, humor, and encouragement, I help you draw on your inherent strengths, change painful or unskillful patterns, and identify tools to build a joyful, connected, and fulfilling life. My approach is integrated, strengths-based, and trauma-informed utilizing evidence-based practices tailored to your unique needs and goals.

I believe the foundations of a healing, productive therapeutic relationship are trust, authenticity, and collaboration.
