A Note From Brianna
“Some of the most significant challenges we face in life come down to our current and past relationships: with others, with our communities, and – importantly – with ourselves.
I believe that the most healing aspect of therapy is the positive, safe relationship that forms between counselor and client.
Our relationship will mirror the dynamics you experience in other relationships, acting as a training ground where you can safely explore patterns of connection, communication, and emotional expression. This will serve as a foundation for greater self-acceptance and connection in other areas of life.”

“Real change happens on the level of the gesture. It’s one person doing one thing differently than he or she did before.” —Cheryl Strayed, Tiny Beautiful Things 2. What brings you a sense of ease?
Hiking, catching up with my sisters, and reading a good book.
When I’m not with clients, I’m probably streaming court trials.
