Hi, I’m Brittany. I’m so glad you’re here. I’m a Licensed Therapist with more than 10 years of experience supporting individuals and families through life’s challenges, transitions, and seasons of growth.

At the heart of my work is a genuine love for helping people better understand themselves, strengthen their relationships, and reconnect with the parts of themselves that may have gotten lost along the way. I especially enjoy working with teens, adults, and families, and I believe some of the most meaningful change happens when we have a safe space to show up as our whole selves—not just the parts that seem easiest to explain.

I bring warmth, compassion, curiosity, and a little humor into the therapy room. You don’t need to arrive with the right words or have everything figured out. Come as you are—we’ll start there.

Therapist

I have been a licensed clinical social worker for over 30 years bringing broad experience and perspective to my sessions. I believe that joining with a client is paramount to establishing trust. Trusting that your provider cares for you, has your best interest at heart and provides you with reasonable and doable solutions is key to growth. If we don’t connect, no harm/no foul. We agree to move on and I will assist with that process, if necessary.

“Everything can be taken from a man but one thing: the last of the human freedoms—to choose one’s attitude in any given set of circumstances, to choose one’s own way.”

Viktor E. Frankl, Man's Search for Meaning

I am a firm believer that life–even the best of lives– has moments of pain and suffering; however great or small. Some come to pass quickly and float away from our consciousness, while others stay with us, shape us, change our relationships and the way we see the world. The rest of our life is filled with moments dependent on how we cope with, process and accept those moments of pain or suffering.

I am a bilingual English/Spanish Licensed Clinical Social Worker, Perinatal Mental Health Certified (PMH-C), and Infant Mental Health Endorsed (IMH-E®). I provide virtual therapy throughout Texas for children and teens ages 6–18, adults, and parents. I especially support individuals navigating ADHD and attention challenges, pregnancy and postpartum changes, infertility and fertility treatments, NICU experiences, parenting stress, anxiety, and major life transitions. My goal is to create a space where you can feel heard, understood, supported, and never judged. Sometimes therapy is about finding solutions and building new tools, and sometimes it is simply about having a safe place to talk, process, and feel supported.
