Great to meet you!

Feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or emotionally exhausted? Maybe anxiety has you constantly overthinking, past experiences still affect your daily life, or you're navigating grief, depression, burnout, or a major life transition. Whatever brought you here, you don't have to face it alone.

Hi, I'm Brianna, a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) with a Doctorate in Health Science. I specialize in helping adults navigate anxiety, trauma, grief, depression, burnout, and life transitions with compassion, practical support, and evidence-based care.

I believe therapy is most effective when you feel genuinely seen, heard, and accepted. My goal is to provide a warm, judgment-free space where you can better understand yourself, build on your strengths, and develop practical tools to help you move forward with greater confidence and resilience.

Taking the first step isn't always easy, but you don't have to do it alone. I'd be honored to support you on your journey toward healing and growth.

My approach to therapy

My approach to therapy is collaborative, compassionate, and personalized to your experiences, goals, and needs. I believe you are the expert on your own life, and my role is to provide support, guidance, and practical tools to help you create meaningful change.

I use approaches including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Motivational Interviewing, and trauma-informed care to help you better understand the connection between your thoughts, emotions, experiences, and behaviors. Together, we’ll identify patterns, build coping strategies, and develop skills to help you feel more confident, grounded, and empowered.

What you can expect from me

In our first session, we’ll start by getting to know you, your experiences, and what brought you to therapy. We’ll talk about your goals, the challenges you’re facing, and what support would be most helpful moving forward.

You don’t need to have everything figured out before starting therapy. My role is not to judge you or tell you what you “should” do—I’ll work alongside you to understand your story, recognize your strengths, and develop practical tools at a pace that feels comfortable for you.
