About me

As a licensed therapist in New Jersey, I bring over 15 years of dedicated experience supporting individuals through complex emotional landscapes. My practice centers on helping clients navigate challenges like anxiety, depression, relationship dynamics, and personal growth. I specialize in addressing trauma, social anxiety, attachment issues, OCD, ADHD, immigration issues and domestic violence.

My therapeutic approach is deeply compassionate and tailored to each individual's unique journey. I focus on empowering clients to develop self-love, improve communication skills, and overcome barriers that prevent personal fulfillment. Whether you're struggling with workplace stress, relationship transitions, or seeking deeper self-understanding, I'm committed to creating a supportive, non-judgmental space for healing.

Drawing from evidence-based practices, I work collaboratively with clients to develop practical strategies for managing stress, processing difficult emotions, and building resilience. My bilingual background allows me to provide culturally sensitive support to Spanish-speaking clients, ensuring accessible and meaningful therapeutic experiences.

Brittanie made me feel comfortable. When I did therapy previously it felt as though I was talking to myself. Brittanie listens intently and directs her attention to the area I needing help talking about.
