More about Brittany

  • 9 years' experience
  • Female
  • LPC

I’m Brittany, a second-generation immigrant and proud Black therapist who approaches the therapy process with empathy, cultural awareness, humility, and intention. I believe therapy should feel like a collaborative and emotionally safe space where you can show up fully as yourself while working toward healing, clarity, and deeper connection.

With 8 years of experience in the mental health field, I specialize in supporting teens, college students, adults, and couples navigating the emotional challenges that impact their relationships, identity, and overall well-being. My approach is warm, affirming, and grounded in helping clients better understand themselves while building healthier patterns of connection with others.

In addition to being a therapist, I am also a board-certified music therapist. I often lean into musical expression and creativity as additional tools for healing, emotional processing, self-exploration, and regulation when words alone may not fully capture the experience. Whether through traditional talk therapy, music-based interventions, emotion-focused therapy, or a blend of all, my goal is to meet clients where they are and create a therapeutic experience that feels authentic and supportive.

My areas of focus include:

Relationship and attachment concerns

Anxiety, emotional overwhelm, and burnout

Identity exploration and life transitions

Trauma and emotional healing

LGBTQIA+ affirming care

Neurodivergent-affirming support

Couples counseling and communication challenges

Creative expression and self-exploration

College and young adult transitions

I recognize the courage it takes to seek support, and I strive to create a space where clients feel genuinely seen, understood, and empowered throughout their healing journey.

If you’re ready to begin, I’d be honored to support you.

Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.
