About

Hi, I'm Brittaney.

Most of the women I work with are capable, thoughtful, and tired of patterns that don’t change, even when they understand exactly what’s happening and have already tried a lot to fix it. Sometimes that looks like a mind that never really switches off, or knowing what needs to happen and still not being able to start. Sometimes it’s food taking up more room in your head than you want it to, or a bad body day turning into a bad-about-you day. Sometimes it’s thoughts that loop no matter how much you check, ask, or reassure yourself. And sometimes it’s a big change, like starting grad school, moving to a new state, or starting a new job, that made everything you were quietly managing suddenly louder, or the feeling of being stretched across every role you have and no longer sure what you want your life to look like. I also work with couples who keep landing in the same argument, or who have drifted into talking only about logistics. You don’t need to arrive knowing which explanation fits. Part of our work is figuring that out together.

You don’t need to package your experience neatly. You can just tell me what’s going on.

I'm curious by nature and tend to ask a lot of questions. I want to understand what's happening in your life before we decide what to do about it. That means looking beyond a diagnosis or a list of symptoms to consider how things like relationships, physical health, sleep, food, work, and the demands you're managing all fit together. I don't want to hand you a list of strategies before I understand why you're struggling in the first place. I want to know what you've already tried, what's keeping the pattern going, and what you want to be different. I'll share what I'm noticing and explain how I'm thinking about it. Sometimes that means helping you see a pattern you hadn't recognized. Sometimes it means challenging something that's keeping you stuck. And sometimes it means recognizing that you're expecting far more of yourself than is realistic. I want you to understand what we're working on and why. You should be able to ask questions, disagree with me, and tell me when something isn't helping.

I'm a therapist, a parent, and someone who is interested in how people make sense of themselves and the systems around them. I take clinical work seriously, but I don't think therapy needs to feel overly formal. I'm direct, curious, and comfortable talking about things that can be difficult to say out loud. You don't need to package your experience neatly or manage how I receive what you share. You can just tell me what's going on.

What you can expect from me

• I’ll name what I see. You won’t be left guessing about my clinical read.

• I’ll care why it keeps happening. Not just what to try next.

• I’ll take you seriously, and still ask questions. And you’re welcome to push back on mine.
