With over seven years of experience in the field of social work, she brings a wide-ranging background that includes working with the Children’s Division, in hospital settings, with geriatrics, and school-based social work. This diverse experience has given her a deep understanding of individuals across the lifespan and the unique challenges they face.

Brittany believes deeply in the power of trauma-informed care and support, and the healing that comes from having a safe, judgment-free space to process and grow. She also believes in the importance of identifying the root cause of symptoms, rather than just managing surface-level issues.

Therapist

Virtual • Maplewood, MO


If you feel stuck in toxic relational loops, exhausted by chronic stress, or weighed down by trauma, you don't have to carry it alone. Healing after emotional abuse, narcissistic dynamics, or toxic family systems requires more than standard talk therapy—it takes validation, practical strategy, and real clarity. I work with individuals, married couples, families, and First Responders dealing with issues of shame, depression, anxiety, relational difficulties and sexual brokenness, work/family struggles, anxiety, grief, and spiritual confusion. I am experienced in Christian counseling for those who would like to engage with their faith in counseling. I also specialize in Narcissistic Abuse Recovery.

Happy patient looking away

Find the right therapist for you

Headway makes it easy to find support for your mental health — from finding the right provider, to understanding costs, to scheduling with ease.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Therapist in Columbia

Searching for therapists in Columbia starts with knowing what kind of support you want from therapy. You may be looking for help with anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship challenges, grief, or a life transition. As you compare Columbia therapists, look for someone whose listed specialties, therapy approach, and experience match what you want to focus on. Provider bios can help you see whether a therapist uses approaches like cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, trauma-informed care, or another style that fits your needs.

In a smaller city like Columbia, the right match may be nearby, or it may be easier to find through virtual therapy with a Missouri-licensed therapist. In-person care can be a good fit if you prefer a local office near Downtown, East Campus, or another part of Columbia. Virtual sessions may give you more choices for appointment times and therapist specialties. Before booking, review whether a therapist is accepting new patients, offers times that work with your schedule, and provides a free phone consultation. A therapist’s profile can also show how they describe their communication style and what to expect in sessions.

Therapy in Columbia can be a significant cost without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to lower your session costs and understand what you may pay before you book. Headway helps you search for therapists in Columbia, MO who are accepting new patients, compare virtual and in-person options, and enter your insurance details for an estimated out-of-pocket cost. You can review bios, check availability, and book directly when you’re ready.

1 Cost may vary based on your location, age, and insurance coverage.
