I come to this work as a licensed clinical social worker, but more importantly, as someone who believes that people are never just a diagnosis, a crisis, or a moment in time. My education includes a Master of Social Work (MSW), grounded in clinical practice, ethics, and a deep respect for the environments that shape us—families, systems, histories, and the quiet stories we carry.

Over the years, my professional path has taken shape through direct clinical work, consultation, and behavioral health services. I’ve worked with individuals navigating complex emotional landscapes—people who are functioning on the outside but hurting on the inside, people in transition, and people who are trying to make sense of patterns that didn’t begin with them.

My work is not about “fixing” you. It’s about understanding you.

Hello, and welcome. I am truly glad that you have chosen to take this important first step on your journey toward wellness, healing, and contentment. Making the decision to seek support is not always easy. In fact, for many people, the first step can feel like the most challenging one. It often requires vulnerability, honesty, courage, and a willingness to embrace change. Yet despite its difficulty, it is also one of the most powerful and meaningful decisions you can make for yourself.

By taking this step, you are investing in your well-being and demonstrating a commitment to your personal growth. Whether you are facing specific challenges, navigating life transitions, working through difficult emotions, strengthening relationships, or simply seeking a greater sense of balance and fulfillment, you have already begun moving toward positive change.

I believe the therapeutic process is about relationship and connection. I love supporting people through the difficulties of life. In doing so, I love to laugh, joke, connect, be real, and down to earth. I have a thought-provoking approach to treatment. My approach allows me to directly connect with clients in a manner that is comfortable and authentic. Through treatment I provide my clients with healthy challenges, and autonomy in guiding their own treatment.

Some clients come to me grieving a loss no one around them fully understands. Others are learning, for the first time, how to have a relationship with food and their body that isn't at war. I'm Bri, a Hudson Valley therapist working with adults and couples on grief, disordered eating, anxiety, and relationship and identity questions with no easy answers. My approach is holistic and person-centered: I want to know the whole person in front of me, not just the symptom that brought you in. I welcome LGBTQIA+ and transgender clients, and anyone who wants a space where they don't have to perform being okay.
