Finding the right support for your child can be a difficult and overwhelming task. Do you have questions about your student's academic ability or if their needs are being appropriately met in school? Students who have learning differences such as gifted and talented, twice exceptional, dyslexia and other learning disabilities, may not always receive what they need both academically and social emotionally. As a trained and nationally certified school psychologist, I have a thorough understanding of how children process information, barriers to learning, appropriate interventions and supports offered in the schools.

Trauma is an interesting part of life, you are not expecting it, and you barely understand it. Now you are forced to deal with it. Or even to deal with many other Mental Health issues. I have experienced enough trauma, Grief and Loss, sadness, and Depression to last a lifetime, from childhood issues to adult issues. However, I had to build a team; you would call this team a support system, much like what you are doing by reading my profile. You want to build your (Team) Support system, and you are not alone. It is easy to fight your battles alone and to suffer in silence. I want you to know that you do not have to.

Hi there, I’m Brianna. I’m deeply passionate about working with trauma as well as the sacred intersectionality of multiple identities. I’m a true believer in our innate capacity to heal and find a soul-ful, fulfilling life. I view my role as a therapist as a facilitator to help guide you to deeper places inside yourself that might be dormant or lacking liveliness. Through this work, our relationship with the world and others becomes energized as we awaken and open paths within that block our capacity to fully lean into our life. My work is to tend to the heart. My approach is warm, intentional, and relaxed.

If you're saying "I can't sleep!", I can help. Enjoy restorative sleep & vital days. Maybe you've had insomnia for years - it's still fixable. We can change the habit of lying awake, worrying, watching the clock - insomnia can be resolved w-out drugs. Sadly, many professionals prescribe drugs (don't work long-term) or "sleep hygiene," which won't fix chronic insomnia. Behavioral Therapy for Insomnia is a short-term treatment - 6-10 sessions. Trauma-related nightmares can also be treated in just 5 sessions, allowing more sleep, fewer PTSD symptoms. During flu/covid season, I'm online only.

I help clients reclaim parts of themselves that may have been lost or forgotten in their pursuit of excellence in work, art, sport, and life. My depth therapy approach has been particularly helpful with people nearing transition points in their career/life (parenthood, retirement, injury, death, etc.). I also work with teens/teen athletes, child-free individuals and couples, and our elder population. Symptoms of anxiety, depression, lack of motivation, body image issues, and substance misuse are common in clients I work with.
