Great to meet you!

I'm Briana, and I have spent time in shoes like yours and have a deep empathy for those who are on their journey to greater healing and understanding of themselves and their lives through therapy. I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) which means I largely see you as a whole picture, a person that can be affected by many different factors in their environment, and how your issues can be correlated to other aspects of your life.

I serve LGBTQIA+ clientele, non-monogamy, kink and positive.

My approach to therapy

First and foremost, I offer person-centered therapy. I utilize an eclectic approach that includes many theories and models for treatment. I don’t believe therapy is a one-size-fits-all sort of process. I borrow from psychodynamic approaches, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), narrative therapy, solution-focused, The Gottman Method, Integrative Sex Therapy, and Emotions-Focused Therapy (EFT).

What you can expect from me

I’m empathetic but real. I’m a good listener, but I don’t think therapy should just be listening. People come to therapy often because they are at a difficult spot in their lives and they sometimes need a gentle nudge to find the way. I emphasize authenticity and vulnerability, and I consider myself very open and non-judgmental to anything you want to share with me.
