Are you peopled out? Does your work leave you thinking that dogs are better than people? Is your humor a little dark and twisted? Then you’ve stumbled across the right therapist.

Education:

Approach:

Bri’s treatment approach to therapy tends to be an eclectic and blended style, pulling from various theories to help address your specific needs and concerns. Her style is relational, meaning she shows up in genuine and authentic ways with clients (for example: she cusses in sessions, laughs at jokes, and embraces genuine responses in sessions with her clients). She is trained in basic Eye Movement Desensitization Reprocessing (EMDR). As a queer clinician, Bri is passionate about providing safe and affirming mental health support for those within the queer community.

Bri strives to create a laid-back therapeutic atmosphere that feels warm and personable. She enjoys going outside with clients, so you will find her wearing athletic-wear and comfortable clothing in sessions. Bri likes to be creative in finding what works best for clients and when appropriate enjoys finding ways to incorporate pop culture into session--cue the Schitt’s Creek, Taylor Swift, and more references!
