Virtual • Trenton, FL


I’m a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner dedicated to making high-quality mental health care accessible to everyone, especially individuals in underserved and rural communities. Throughout my career, I’ve had the privilege of caring for children, adolescents, adults, and older adults in homes, assisted living facilities, group homes, and through telehealth.

I believe mental health care should be compassionate, collaborative, and free of judgment. My goal is to create a space where you feel heard, respected, and comfortable being yourself. Whether you’re struggling with anxiety, depression, ADHD, bipolar disorder, trauma, grief, or another mental health concern, we’ll work together to build a treatment plan that fits your life, not someone else’s.

I combine evidence-based medicine with a whole-person approach, recognizing that sleep, stress, relationships, physical health, and daily habits all play an important role in emotional well-being. My priority is helping you feel better while empowering you with the tools to thrive long after our appointments.

I am a board-certified Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner and the founder of InnerGrowth Psychiatry and Wellness, where I provide compassionate, evidence-based care through both medication management and psychotherapy. My approach is rooted in the belief that healing is deeply personal, and each individual deserves to feel seen, heard, and supported without judgment.

I specialize in treating depression, anxiety, mood disorders, stress, and life transitions. I also support individuals navigating relationship challenges, social anxiety, and feelings of loneliness. My style is collaborative and patient-centered, I don’t believe in a “one-size-fits-all” approach. Instead, I work closely with you to understand your unique experiences, goals, and values, and we build a treatment plan together that feels right for you.

Clients often describe me as warm, attentive, and easy to talk to. I create a safe and supportive space where you can be open and honest, whether you’re seeking clarity, emotional healing, or personal growth. I integrate therapeutic techniques with thoughtful medication management when appropriate, ensuring that care is both holistic and effective.

My strength lies in my ability to balance clinical expertise with genuine human connection. I am deeply committed to helping you gain insight, develop coping strategies, and move toward a more balanced and fulfilling life.

Taking the first step toward mental wellness can feel overwhelming, but you don’t have to do it alone. I’m here to support you every step of the way.

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in Florida with over nine years of

experience helping individuals navigate life’s emotional challenges. I have

supported clients through a wide range of issues, including anxiety, depression,

stress, low self-esteem, relationship challenges, life transitions, and trauma. I

also have specialized experience working with mothers navigating postpartum

depression, anxiety, and the emotional adjustments that come with pregnancy

and early parenthood. My work includes providing therapy in homes,

community settings, and virtually—meeting clients where they feel most

supported.

I believe you are the expert of your own story, and your God-given

strengths—whether fully realized or still emerging—can guide your healing

journey. My approach is warm, collaborative, and grounded in empathy, faith, and

respect. Taking the first step toward therapy takes courage, and I commend you

for choosing healing. You do not have to walk this road alone.

Hi, I'm Brittany — a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) and Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) with seven years of experience helping adults navigate some of life's hardest chapters. I believe every person deserves care that's as unique as they are. I work with adults who are struggling with anxiety, stress, unresolved trauma, depression, grief, low self-esteem, and relationship or family conflict. My approach draws on evidence-based tools — including DBT, mindfulness, and trauma-focused techniques — woven together with a genuine belief in your capacity to grow. I hold a Master's degree in Rehabilitation & Mental Health Counseling from the University of South Florida and went on to practice therapy in three different states where I’ve worked with people from many different walks of life and cultural backgrounds. I offer telehealth sessions, so you can access quality care from wherever you feel most comfortable. Let me help you make the changes that you want to see!
