Meet Britney

I specialize in assisting clients in moving towards healing and integration. I work collaboratively with clients to acknowledge and validate their struggles while reorienting them towards their strengths. I create the time and space in sessions for you to be your authentic self, recognizing how all aspects of self— including ethnicity, gender, sexuality, and disabilities—play a role in how you navigate the world. I humbly seek to provide culturally competent services and strongly believe each individual is filled with potential for growth and joy. I understand that therapy can be both rewarding and challenging, and I am here to walk alongside you in the journey from potentiality to creating the meaningful life you’ve desired.

I create the time and space in session for you to be your authentic self, acknowledging how all aspects of self, including ethnicity, gender, sexuality, and disabilities, play a role in how you move through the world.
