As humans, we do not exist in a vacuum, so many things take a toll on our daily lives and through our work together, we can figure out what works and what doesn't. I am an LCSW and have been specializing in OCD and Trauma for over three years.

You don't need to have it all figured out to reach out. If anxiety, trauma, family conflict, grief, or the weight of ADHD or depression has been running your days, you deserve a space that's judgment-free and genuinely yours. I'm Brittany, a Licensed Mental Health Counselor in Florida with over a decade of experience helping teens, adults, and families find steadier ground. Clients often tell me our sessions feel less like an appointment and more like finally being heard.

Therapist

Being a parent can be stressful, as you often find yourself wondering what you can do to help your child feel better, find emotional balance, increase their confidence and enhance their potential. It can be daunting to reach out to a therapist because you want to make sure that you find someone who deeply cares and connects with your child and can work with you, guiding and supporting your parenting journey. Imagine what it would feel like not to constantly worry about your child because you know that they feel better about themselves, can better regulate their feelings and behaviors, and are more in control of their life.


I help children and adolescents manage emotional distress and behavioral issues, addressing difficulties in social, academic, and family settings. I also help parents develop a stronger connection and understanding of their child(ren) by providing advice, tools, and methods to advance their parenting skills and confidence.


I have over 24 years of experience working with toddlers, children, adolescents, and their families and hold a four-year, post-masters Advanced Training Certificate in Child and Adolescent Psychotherapy from the Chicago Institute for Psychoanalysis. I am available in the morning, afternoon, and evening Monday through Friday. Phone and video call sessions are available. I provide services in English, Spanish and Italian.

If you're the friend everyone calls for advice but you're falling apart on the inside, the one who looks fine, performs fine, keeps it together in every group chat and every meeting, I work with you. Anxiety that doesn't show on the outside. Burnout you can't admit to. A relationship, breakup, or career shift that cracked something open. I've spent years in acute care settings sitting with people at their most vulnerable moments. I've learned throughout the years surface-level conversations don't get us anywhere, let's dive in to the root of the issue.

I believe our mental health is key to living a healthy, productive life. I support people who may find themselves stuck in guilt, shame, denial, complacency, anger, anxiety, depression, or patterns that are affecting their relationships and day-to-day life. I work with clients navigating family issues, identity concerns, trauma, PTSD, panic, grief, and stress that can leave them feeling overwhelmed or disconnected from themselves. I enjoy being on the journey with individuals as they work through their issues and become the version of themselves they already knew existed.

Psychologist

Virtual • Sarasota, FL


I’m a clinical and performance psychologist and executive coach, and I teach the emotional skills most of us were never taught. If you feel overwhelmed even though life looks “successful” on the outside, you’re not alone. Many of the people I work with are physicians, executives, athletes, business owners, and other high achievers navigating anxiety, chronic stress, burnout, relationship strain, or intense performance pressure. For over 25 years, I’ve helped people build emotional resilience, communicate more effectively, and develop practical tools that create real, lasting change—not just momentary relief.
