As a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) and Certified Sex Addiction Therapist (CSAT), I help men navigate the pressures of high-demand careers and the challenges that can impact their relationships and personal lives. If you're feeling overwhelmed by stress, disconnected from the people who matter most, or caught in unhealthy coping patterns, I provide a direct, supportive, and nonjudgmental space where lasting change is possible.

I specialize in helping men who struggle with pornography and sex addiction, as well as the shame, secrecy, and relationship pain that often accompany these behaviors. Together, we'll identify the underlying issues driving these patterns, strengthen emotional awareness, rebuild trust and connection, and develop practical tools to help you live with greater integrity, purpose, and confidence.

I believe that healing happens within the context of community and connection. My journey in social work began in 2015, and since then, I have had the privilege of walking alongside families and individuals in their most vulnerable moments. From my early days as a parent educator and working within child protective services to my recent years in community mental health, I have seen firsthand the incredible strength of the human spirit.

Healing starts with exploring how past experiences continue to affect your emotions, thoughts, and the relationships that matter most to you. Grief, trauma, anxiety, depression, and the weight of patterns carried across a lifetime have a way of becoming invisible — so woven into daily life that they no longer feel like patterns at all. Just the way things are. You may have tried to push through, stay busy, or simply manage — and found yourself back in the same place, wondering why nothing seems to stick.

What most people don't realize is that the experiences keeping them stuck aren't just stored in memory — they live in the body. In the tension you hold without knowing it. In the way your breath shifts in certain rooms, around certain people, in certain moments that shouldn't feel as heavy as they do. This is where the real work happens — not just in understanding what you've been through, but in helping your nervous system finally catch up to what your mind already knows.

I bring a particular kind of presence to this work — calm, grounded, and genuinely unshakeable. Not because the hard stuff doesn't land, but because it doesn't destabilize me. For clients carrying trauma, that steadiness matters more than almost anything else. You need someone who can hold the full weight of what you bring in without flinching — and keep showing up the same way, session after session.

What we build together goes beyond the therapy room. Complex relationship patterns, grief, and the slow erosion of self-confidence are connected — shaped by the same experiences, reinforcing the same conclusions about who you are and what you deserve. We'll trace those connections, understand what your nervous system has been protecting, and build something more sustainable than simply getting through the day.

Some people arrive at therapy having spent years simply getting through — managing, coping, holding it together just enough to keep moving. I work with people who are ready for something more than that. My work goes beyond symptom relief, helping clients reconnect with their minds and bodies, understand what they've been carrying, and build something more sustainable than survival. Healing, I've learned, is something we cultivate together — not something we rush.

My approach is evidence-based and attends to the whole person. EMDR is often where I begin with clients whose trauma still reverberates through daily life — in their relationships, their nervous system, and the patterns that don't respond to insight alone. I draw on DBT and mindfulness to build practical skills for emotional steadiness, and I'm especially passionate about helping clients understand the why behind what they feel. Knowledge, I believe, turns confusion into clarity and shame into self-compassion.

When clients want to bring their spirituality into the room, I welcome it without agenda. Faith and a sense of something larger than ourselves can be powerful tools for self-discovery, and I honor all belief systems with genuine respect.

My style is warm, direct, and transparent. I work with people navigating ADHD, bipolar disorder, borderline personality disorder, depression, and the persistent effects of trauma — helping them slow down, find steadiness, and reconnect with themselves at a level that actually shifts things.

Clients often describe me as real — someone who brings equal parts expertise and humanity into the room. I especially love working with women, teens, and neurodivergent adults learning to see their sensitivity and intensity as strengths rather than shortcomings. That reframe alone can change everything.

Hello! I'm Brigett and I'm accepting new clients.

Taking the first step toward healing can feel overwhelming, but you don’t have to walk this path alone. I am a dedicated therapist passionate about helping individuals process trauma, navigate complex emotions, and reclaim their inner strength. In our work together, we won’t just talk about what’s happening in your mind—we will look at the whole picture. I specialize in nervous system regulation, helping you move out of constant survival mode (like feeling perpetually anxious, overwhelmed, or shut down) and back into a state of safety and balance.

My goal is to create a warm, collaborative, and entirely judgment-free space where you feel truly heard. Together, we will uncover the why behind your patterns, giving you the insights and practical tools you need to feel deeply empowered and connected to your true self.

How we can connect: I currently offer flexible, convenient virtual sessions so you can begin your healing journey from the comfort of your home. Starting in July, I will be welcoming clients for in-person sessions [Phoenix @ Northern/51] on Fridays.

Wherever you are starting from today, please know that healing is possible, and you are entirely capable of it. I look forward to supporting you.

Every person deserves to be truly seen and heard without the fear of judgment or the pressure to have all the right answers. I have dedicated my practice to creating a space where there are no right or wrong ways to feel—only room to heal, grow, and be met exactly where you are. I specialize in supporting elementary-age children, neurodivergent youth, and women who are navigating the complexities of anxiety, depression, PTSD, and relational challenges. I feel privileged to help my clients achieve their goals and improve their lives by helping them find the stability and self-esteem they deserve.

I believe therapy should feel like a human connection rather than a clinical process. I work closely with parents as well, helping them find the right language and tools to connect deeply with their children and build a more supportive home environment. My clients often describe me as real, relatable, and refreshingly down-to-earth. When I am not in the office, I enjoy the simple restoration that comes with a long walk or a good book. I want my clients to feel safe and empowered during their time with me, knowing they have a partner who is genuinely invested in their unique journey.
