I'm Rachel, a Licensed Mental Health Counselor with four years of experience in the mental health field and a background in psychology and counseling. I specialize in neurodivergence and trauma, which means I spend a lot of my time with people who have spent years feeling like they were too much, not enough, or just hard to understand. If that resonates with you, I want you to know that this is a space where that changes.
Starting therapy can feel overwhelming, and my goal is to make that first step feel a little easier. I approach my work with warmth, compassion, and genuine curiosity about each person’s story. I support clients in gently unpacking the thoughts and experiences that may be contributing to anxiety and depression, while offering empathy and practical tools along the way. You don’t have to navigate this alone—we’ll work through it together.

I’m Brittany, a Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner providing thoughtful, individualized care for both adults and children—because mental health support should meet you where you are, at every stage of life.
I believe psychiatric care should never feel rushed, dismissive, or one-size-fits-all. My approach centers on listening first, understanding the whole person, and creating a plan that actually works for you.
Through secure telehealth, I support individuals and families navigating anxiety, depression, mood disorders, emotional regulation challenges, and major life transitions.
This space is for real conversations, clarity, and care without judgment.
