Brianna specializes in working with trauma and PTSD, stress, anxiety, depression, disordered eating, self-esteem, grief, women’s issues, relationships, big life changes, among other issues. Her approach is informed by multiple modalities, such as Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), Internal Family Systems (IFS), Somatic Experiencing (SE), Intuitive Eating, Imago Dialogue, and Feminist Therapy.
I aim to provide an inviting and engaging environment that allows you to access tools to cope with stressors; set healthy boundaries and improve communication to fuel connection; embrace and regulate your emotions; understand the systemic issues affecting your mental health; reprocess past traumatic experiences so your body can heal; and strengthen your attunement and awareness to your body. I am deeply committed to affirming multiculturalism from a decolonial and abolitionist lens while taking time to understand how power dynamics, systemic oppression, and intersecting identities have impacted your lived experience.

Brianna is a thoughtful clinician, whose authentic presence holds space for holistic and experiential healing. Brianna’s expertise in inter-generational frameworks and somatic practice provides care that is truly compassionate towards the whole person.
I know Brianna to be a warm, attuned person and colleague who really cares about her clients and wants them to feel safe, supported, and seen. I also trust her understanding of how the oppressive systems in which we live create external constraints and inner wounds and her centering of this perspective in her work with her clients, rather than pathologizing them or treating them like a problem to fix or solve. From my perspective, Brianna's relational approach paired with the understanding of systems––and commitment to doing what she can to help fight against them outside the therapeutic space––makes for a great therapist and partner in healing to have walk alongside you.
Brianna is a warm and empathic therapist who integrates multicultural and trauma-informed approaches into her practice. She creates a welcoming, personalized space where clients feel seen, supported, and empowered to discover the care that best meets their needs.
