About Brittany

Brittany has been a therapist for ten years. She creates a judgment-free space where you can be fully honest without fear of being criticized. She believes most people already carry more strength than they realize and her job is to help you see it, name what is in the way and build practical strategies for change.

She works with teens and adults in individual, family and group therapy, and leads workshops. Families often come to her when one person's struggle has started to pull on everyone else, because she is comfortable working with the whole system, not just the identified problem.

Brittany has over a decade of experience working with youth and families in residential treatment, addressing the impact of trauma, mental health, and systemic issues on presenting symptoms. She has been a supervising therapist and has experience training interns and provisionally licensed clinicians. Brittany is a Utah-approved supervisor. She has received a Service Excellence Award for her service with UHS.

In Brittany's Words

“

"Therapy should be a place where you can feel safe and comfortable being honest about your experiences in order to get the direction and support you need without judgment or pressure. I believe people possess more strengths than they often realize. My role is to help you understand what is getting in the way of the life you wish to live or what you hope to achieve, recognize patterns that may no longer be helpful to you, and develop practical ways to move forward.

I am passionate about working with adolescents, young adults, and their families. I have experience providing individual and family therapy to clients who need additional support navigating emotional, behavioral, and relationship concerns. My approach is strengths-based and compassionate, and my hope is to help you make change that is meaningful and carries outside of the therapy room.

I use evidence-based approaches, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and EMDR. Therapy may involve understanding the connection between your thoughts, emotions, and behaviors, learning healthier coping skills, improving emotional regulation, and processing experiences that continue to affect you. I believe a comfortable therapeutic relationship is essential to the work we will do together.

I have extensive experience supervising and training therapists. Throughout my career, I have helped clinicians with case conceptualization, treatment planning, documentation, and improving the quality of care they provide. That experience has strengthened my belief that therapy should be thoughtful, individualized, and centered on each person's needs and values.

You do not need to have everything (or anything!) figured out before coming to therapy. We can start with what is bothering you now and work together to better understand what is happening and what changes would help you feel more confident, connected, and in control of your life.

Outside of therapy, I enjoy reading, crafting, and spending time in the mountains. I consider myself a foodie and hope to travel to Japan someday soon!"
