About me

I am a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker with over 13 years of experience providing direct mental health services. I obtained a Master of Social Work (MSW) degree in 2008. I have worked with individuals with a variety of presenting issues; including self esteem, stress, anxiety, work-related issues, problems with peer group, issues related to the military life style, family issues, relationship issues, infidelity and trust issues, intimacy issues, trauma and family violence. I comfortable working with clients from all backgrounds and always approach the therapeutic relationship with a sensitivity towards cultural issues.

My experience is varied across multiple settings and populations, as I have provided direct services to families in the community and through the military system. I currently work for the U.S. Military providing counseling to service members and their dependents on a daily basis. I approach every therapeutic relationship with a foundation of trust, openness and respect. I believe in a client-centered approach and will empower and motivate you through the therapeutic process. I will work to understand you and how your personal experiences and environment may be impacting you at this time. My clients describe me as a kind, caring and empathic counselor, whom they immediately feel comfortable with.

My counseling style draws influences from Strengths Based Solution-Focused Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. I believe that we all have strengths within us, but that sometimes it takes support to help recognize and build on them. I will help you find solutions to your problems and provide techniques that can provide symptom relief if necessary. Many of my clients report that they experience quick relief once working with me, as I focus specifically on the issues most important to you.

Brittany is great! She has awesome scheduling and availability! She listens intently and remember details from previous sessions. I’ve received significant support and feel much better from work with her

Brittany is kind, fair, smart, gives out homework (for those who like CBT!), and positive. All really important attributes in therapy. We enjoy working with her a lot (marital counseling) and are benefitting enormously from her help.

Brittany is an excellent counselor. She is professional, attentive, and considerate. Outside of our sessions, Brittany has often made herself available via message between sessions, checking-in on me to see how I’m doing, and following-up on life events that have been mentioned in prior sessions. I have been working with Brittany for about 2 years now, and in that time she has equipped me with the tools I need to find relief from my anxious thoughts and refocus, something I really struggled with before connecting with her. I highly recommend Brittany.
