Her approach is compassionate, collaborative, and focused on helping clients feel empowered in their own lives.

Trauma & EMDR Therapy

Brittany is trained in Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), an evidence-based approach used to help individuals process traumatic and distressing experiences. EMDR may be helpful for clients experiencing trauma, PTSD symptoms, difficult memories, anxiety, or emotional responses connected to past experiences.

Brittany’s trauma-informed approach emphasizes safety, trust, and meeting each client where they are. She works collaboratively with clients to develop the skills and sense of safety needed to move through the therapeutic process at a manageable pace.
