Great to meet you!

Hi, I'm Bri! I'm a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with over 9 years of experience supporting clients of all ages — children, teens, adults, and older adults — through anxiety, trauma and PTSD, and ADHD. My background spans community mental health, addiction recovery, domestic violence advocacy, school-based counseling, and foster care & adoption support, giving me a deep understanding of how trauma and resilience show up across different stages of life.

My approach to therapy

  • I create a warm, judgment-free space where you can feel truly seen. Using trauma-focused and cognitive behavioral approaches alongside mindfulness, strength-based techniques, and Christian counseling for those who want their faith woven into the process, we'll work at a pace that feels right for you — moving beyond coping to real, lasting change.

What you can expect from me

In our first session, I will get to know you, your background, complete a diagnositic assessment, complete a treatment plan, and review session norms. Any questions you may have will be addressed at this time as well.
