Hi, I'm Bri.

My role is to walk alongside you: not as an expert, but as a companion as you explore your inner world.

I believe one of the most powerful things we can give ourselves is the chance to be truly seen and understood.

 

Therapy is a place to slow down, reconnect with yourself, and explore the parts of you that may have been hidden, silenced, or reshaped to fit what others expected.

My
Passions

  • Working with adults navigating emerging adulthood and life transitions

  • Relational challenges, identity development, and self-esteem struggles

  • Body image and eating concerns; women’s health and sexual functioning

  • Anxiety, depression, and mood disorders

  • Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD)

  • Trauma-related concerns

  • Exploring shame and self-criticism

My
vibe & approach

  • Warm, real, and sometimes playful

  • Always zero judgment

  • Depth-oriented through a psychodynamic/relational lens, with emphasis on the value of the therapeutic relationship 

  • Incorporating ACT and other evidence-based tools when helpful

  • Attuned to culture, personality, and individual differences

  • Therapy doesn’t have to feel heavy all the time! I use humor thoughtfully to keep the space human and connected

  • Curious about the “why?” while practical about the “what now?”

my
credentials

  • M.A. in Clinical Psychology from The Chicago School 

  • Psy.D. Candidate (Advanced Doctoral Extern), The Chicago School 

  • Clinical training in hospital, residential, therapeutic school, and outpatient private practice settings

  • Experience in comprehensive psychological assessment across the lifespan

“When someone really hears you without passing judgment on you, without trying to take responsibility for you, it feels damn good.” – Carl Rogers
