Child, Adolescent, and Adult Therapist
Meet Brittney.
Brittney is a dedicated child, adolescent, and young adult therapist who specializes in helping people of all ages navigate anxiety, OCD, eating-related concerns, and performance pressure. Her work is developmentally informed, structured, and supportive — equipping children and teens with practical skills while helping them feel understood and empowered and adults with insight into their patterns. 

Brittney understands that anxiety in young people often presents differently than it does in adults. It may show up as separation fears, school refusal, perfectionism, intrusive thoughts, rigid eating patterns, stomachaches before practice, emotional meltdowns, or avoidance that slowly narrows a child’s world. She helps clients and families understand how anxiety and OCD function, and she teaches skills that reduce avoidance while building confidence and flexibility.

When working with children and teens, Brittney collaborates with caregivers as appropriate to reinforce skills outside of sessions, while maintaining a supportive and respectful individual space for the young person.

Families, clients and colleagues describe Brittney as calm, structured, and steady. Her clients, children and adults, often feel both challenged and supported in her office — gaining tools that help them feel more capable in school, sports, relationships, social settings, and in their occupations.
​
She draws from evidence-based approaches including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Exposure-informed interventions for anxiety and OCD, Trauma-Focused CBT (TF-CBT), and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) skills. Her sessions are active and goal-oriented, helping clients develop emotional regulation, distress tolerance, cognitive flexibility, and the ability to face feared situations in manageable steps.
