She earned her bachelor’s degree in Psychology with a minor in Neuroscience from Southern Methodist University. Brianna’s elective concentration is the Art and Science of Trauma Treatment, which emphasizes the integration of neurobiology and somatic work with traditional talk therapy. Her formal education, both undergraduate and graduate, has prepared her to work with adults, couples, families, and groups in ways supportive of emotional healing and growth.

She incorporates other relational tools, including Safe Conversations®. She is also trained in NeurOptimal® neurofeedback and utilizes additional evidenced-based neuroscience approaches and techniques based on her clients’ therapeutic needs and goals.

Brianna believes personal and relational difficulties arise when individuals lack a felt sense of trust, safety, and security with themselves. This can lead to living in ways that feel inauthentic, dissatisfying, and distressing. Her approach to counseling focuses on identifying, exploring, and processing emotions and views self-awareness, self- trust, and emotion regulation as key components to creating meaningful individual and relational healing. Brianna feels confident that as individuals reconnect with their authentic selves, cultivate self-trust, and understand their emotions, meaningful transformations can occur. She is intentional about creating a safe, accepting therapeutic space for her clients and walks alongside them as they embark on their healing journey.

Brianna views individuals as multifaceted and acknowledges how our perspectives and lived experiences influence our interactions and perceptions of ourselves, others, and the world. She works with a wide range of concerns, including identity development, relational issues (e.g., family members, friends, partners, coworkers), relationships, grief and loss, complex trauma, stress management, life transitions, parenting, caregiving, managing chronic illness, and women’s issues (e.g., infertility, miscarriage, post-partum experiences). She also enjoys exploring topics of self-worth, self-esteem, self-compassion, emotion regulation, and somatic experiencing (e.g., breathwork, gentle movement, creative arts).
