I am a Licensed Professional Counselor with extensive experience helping adults navigate anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship difficulties, life transitions, and concerns related to alcohol use. I especially enjoy working with clients who may appear capable and successful on the outside but feel overwhelmed, stuck, anxious, or disconnected from themselves.
My style is warm, conversational, nonjudgmental, and straightforward. I believe therapy works best when you feel comfortable being yourself rather than feeling like you have to say the “right” thing in session. My goal is to understand both what you are struggling with and who you are as a person so that therapy feels relevant to your life.

As a therapist for adolescents, teens, and young adults, my goal is to be a steady and supportive presence as they work through the unique struggles that come with growing up. I understand the pressures, uncertainties, and opportunities that each stage of life brings, and I’m dedicated to helping my clients build the skills and self-awareness needed to navigate their individual paths. With a collaborative and non-judgmental approach, I encourage open communication, self-expression, and personal empowerment, creating a space where each client can feel heard and valued.
Outside of my professional role, you can often find me lost in the pages of a good book, seeking inspiration and new perspectives. I thrive on adventure, whether it’s exploring the great outdoors or embarking on spontaneous journeys. At home, I find solace in the company of my beloved pets, whose unconditional love and companionship bring joy to my everyday life. These passions enrich my work as a therapist, reminding me daily of the importance of balance, curiosity, and meaningful connections.
If you’re a teen, young adult, or parent looking for support during these uncertain times, know that help is just a click away. Therapy can be a powerful tool in building the skills and confidence needed to thrive, no matter what challenges come your way. Begin your journey of self-discovery and growth in a space where you can truly be yourself. Let’s work together to create a future that feels hopeful, empowered, and authentic.

At an early age I spent hours listening to people talk about the transitions, traumas, and troubles in their life as I played just out of ear’s reach (or so they thought). These special moments ignited a passion for people and what happens when human beings start being human.

Brittany is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with a master of social work degree from Walden University. 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. Helping others through therapy is more than just a career, it’s a calling. 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.

Figuring out who you are while anxiety, depression, or an ADHD brain that won't slow down is fighting you the whole way is exhausting. I'm a Licensed Professional Counselor (with almost 20 years of experience working with young people) who works primarily with older adolescents and young adults navigating exactly that, along with trauma, relationships, identity, and life transitions. I want this to be a space where you can slow down, make sense of what you're experiencing, and start feeling more grounded and confident.

I offer a relaxed non judgemental environment. I earned my Masters in Social Work at The University of Missouri- Kansas City campus. My clinical education and experience began in foster care, adoption and working with families. Then it branched out to Veteran care and a Dementia specialty. I have always enjoyed offering end of life care as it is sacred work. I have a lot of experience working with couples navigating various relationship problems. I believe it all comes down to having a caring, competent provider to walk along side you when you need one, regardless of the situation. If together we find that I can be that therapist for you...we will get busy helping you feel relief and gain confidence in whatever you are dealing with.
