About Brittany

I received my Master's degree in Clinical Social Work from Michigan State University and also hold a Bachelor's degree in International Business with a minor in French language.  I have always been drawn to the helping profession and am passionate about helping people learn about and empower themselves to create a life of self-acceptance, healthy relationships and meaningful engagement.  I specialize in EMDR therapy, which stands for Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing; an evidence-based trauma recovery tool which has been shown to help people heal from distressing life experiences.  Learn more at EMDRIA.org.  I have gained diverse experience from work in various settings including outpatient mental and behavioral health, inpatient medical rehabilitation, residential adolescent recovery and in an alternative high school.  I provide an authentic therapeutic relationship and evidence-based treatment for clients ages 15+ and have particular experience in:

• Healing from past traumatic experiences or relationships
• Life change adjustment and transitions
• Self-esteem/acceptance and identity exploration
• Loss/grief including pet loss
• Fertility, family building and new parenthood stress / trauma
• Coping with chronic pain/illness
• Addictive habit change, including behavioral and thinking habits

I am originally from the east coast, grew up in Michigan and am happy to call Colorado home for over 11 years now.  When I'm not with clients, I enjoy an active lifestyle hiking with my rescue dog and family, traveling, cooking and reading great books.  I enjoy continuing to learn and grow and value authenticity, laughter and inclusion.
