I’m a naturally curious, growth-oriented human who believes healing happens when insight meets action. I love helping people zoom out to see the bigger picture of their lives—while also gently zooming in on the patterns, habits, and beliefs that shape their everyday experience.
I’m drawn to the intersection of self-awareness and real-world momentum. Therapy with me is thoughtful, collaborative, and grounded. We can explore the deep stuff—identity, relationships, purpose, transitions—while also building practical tools you can actually use on a Tuesday afternoon when life is lifing.
I value emotional honesty, nervous system regulation, and sustainable growth over quick fixes. I believe you’re not broken—you’re adaptive. Together, we figure out what’s working, what’s outdated, and how to move forward in a way that feels aligned, empowered, and authentically you.
Expect warmth, insight, humor when it fits, and a space where all parts of you are welcome. Healing doesn’t have to be clinical and cold—it can be connected, intentional, and even a little energizing.
I am pleased to meet you on your journey of self care and growth! If you have ever felt stuck or overwhelmed, you are not alone. I work with adults navigating life transitions, stress, anxiety, depression, relationships, trauma, grief/loss, family conflict, mood regulation, coaching, Christian counseling, cultural and systemic issues to name a few. Some areas I've worked in are healthcare, schools, adoptions, hospice etc. I will create a safe, supportive space as we do the work to obtain the type of life you want and reach your goals.
As a licensed marriage and family therapist,I will always lead with a client-centered curiosity, believing that each individual possess the innate capacity to become the person they want to be.

I create a relational, connective space to help you tune into your resiliency & energy, to gain back the emotional stability you're seeking. I specialize in bringing families together, assisting you uncover barriers to rifts with one another, and helping you reconnect to a bonded unit. Hablo español!

As a proud Mexican woman, it’s important to me to provide a space for marginalized groups to feel understood and validated. I am LGBTQIA+ affirming and deeply passionate about supporting the queer community with compassion and empathy. I am also sex-positive and have helped many of my clients overcome barriers and concerns regarding sex and physical intimacy.
I graduated from California State University Dominguez Hills with a Master’s Degree in Marital and Family Therapy in 2016. I began seeing clients in 2014, and in the years since, I have worked in substance abuse programs, behavioral health hospitals, intensive outpatient programs, and numerous group practices. Today, I enjoy managing my own practice and seeing my clients thrive as they tackle treatment goals. I am located in Los Angeles and am exclusively offering virtual therapy at this time, making it convenient for you to meet for your sessions in the comfort of your chosen space.
I'm a licensed Marriage and Family Therapist helping my clients find more congruency and peace in their lives. People often believe that their feelings of anxiety and depression are their individual problem or failure, but very often these feelings are just a normal response to a challenging world. They come to their first session worried that they are crazy or deficient in some way, but they’re not. You don’t have to feel this way. I can help you develop understandings about how you are responding to your world, how you are making meaning of your life and how those meanings might be causing you to feel anxious, sad, hopeless, and frustrated. I have decades of experience helping people create lives that feel safe, meaningful, and more joyfully aligned with who they are and what they want.
As a licensed clinical psychologist with over 10 years of clinical experience, I recognize how significant the decision is to begin therapy. I am here to guide you so that you can gain clarity about this decision and eventually experience the benefits of therapy, which be a powerful and life changing. I work with a broad range of people and problems, but my focus is primarily on adults who struggle with depression, anxiety, and trauma. I also help people struggling with relationship issues and various life transitions.
I'm so glad you're here!
I would love to help you move through difficulty and into an experience of your most fulfilling life.

Hi, my name is Brittany, and I am a License Marriage and Family Therapist. I received a bachelor's degree in psychology and a bachelor's degree in Spanish at Seattle University. I then received a master's degree in marriage and family therapy at Chapman University. I have experience working with adults, adolescents, families, and couples. I specialize in working with teens and adults on trauma work, EMDR, and relational work. I support others in identifying and shifting the ways their past experiences impact them and their relationships to others. I am passionate about supporting others in creating lives that match their values and goals. Some of my favorite activities are traveling, reading, cats, animals, crocheting, music, and going on walks.
I have worked with adolescents, adults, and older adults as they work through life's challenges. I am client-centered with a trauma-informed lens, often leaving clients feeling heard, validated, and empowered to continue reaching their goals.
As someone who has worked as a clinician embedded in a law enforcement agency, I am acutely aware of the realities of first responders and the impact the work can have on the individual and their relationships.
As a woman of color and mental health professional, I understand the importance of culturally affirming care for our BIPOC community, and I strive to create a therapeutic environment where your full self is seen, heard, and honored.
