About Briana

Hello, I have been working with kids, teens, and young adults as an LMFT since 2016. I have worked with folks looking for support around substance use and harm reduction, self-harm, depression, anxiety, grief, and OCD. I am not limited to these areas and also have experience with relationships, attachment styles, and more.

There's no wrong way to build resilience. I'm client-centered and navigate based on where you want to go. I hold a holistic view, discovering what parts of your life need balancing. With ERP work, I offer gentle support and space when you're ready to move forward. I appreciate harm reduction approaches to substance use and safer ways to use if sobriety isn't your goal. I'm here to support what you want to work on in session.

Please feel free to reach out anytime. I would love to hear your story and hold space to navigate your mental health needs.

"My approach to working with clients stems from believing that the client knows themselves best and with the help of direct feedback, understanding, and guidance, the client can discover a path forward in navigating their mental health with the strengths they already have in place."

Why did you decide to become a counselor or psychiatric provider?

I decided to become a counselor due to those who have helped me along the way and I wanted to give support to those who need it.

What's one thing you wish all clients knew about therapy, mental health, or the healing process?

I believe that with time, patience, and willingness to work on oneself, that developing skills to build resilience while living with mental health symptoms is possible. There is a way to finding a life that is more balanced.

What can clients expect in their first session with you and in the early stages of therapy?

The first session will be setting the boundaries of therapy. I can share a bit about myself, and answer any questions you may have. You do not have to share your life story with me all at once, and this can come over time as things unfold and when you feel ready.

How do you tailor therapy to meet each client’s unique needs?

I use client centered therapy and allow space for the client to lead where the session may go. If the client is looking for coping skills at that time, we may explore options, or if the client is wanting space to be heard, I hold space for the client's needs.
