Hi! I’m Brittany (she/her), Marriage and Family Therapist, and I am happy you’re here. I’ve had the privilege of working with children, teens, and families in and around the Bay Area for the last 7 years and have provided direct services to individuals and families from diverse backgrounds for nearly a decade in a variety of settings. I strive to create a safe space for children, teens, and young adults to process thoughts and feelings, develop insight, and learn healthy ways to cope. My therapy style is warm, engaging, and collaborative and I’m passionate about creating an authentic, supportive relationship that allows for growth. My philosophy is to seek to understand the whole person with genuine interest, care, and compassion. I use a tailored and integrative approach to help you reach your goals, combining a number of modalities including Humanistic Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Psychodynamic Therapy, Mindfulness, Play Therapy & Expressive Arts, and Solution Focused Therapy. I provide client-centered and lead care that is culturally sensitive, trauma informed, and strength based. Together we will explore how behaviors, emotions, and thoughts intertwine and collaborate on developing healthier habits. It is an honor to learn your story and walk alongside you as you seek to experience positive change and healing. My belief is that the therapeutic relationship is the most powerful tool. My intention is to give others a positive experience with therapy, from the first phone call to the end of treatment. If you are interested in my services or have any questions, I encourage you to reach out in order to schedule a free 15 minute phone consultation. I look forward to connecting with you about your current needs and how I may help.
Whether you’re starting fresh, returning to school, or trying to find your footing again, support is needed. I’ve been there myself, and I understand how demanding and overwhelming this stage of life can feel. Your schedule is constantly changing, relationships can feel uncertain, and even when this is “supposed” to be the best time of your life, it can still feel like too much. Many of the students and young adults I work with come to therapy carrying pressure from school, family expectations, relationships, work, or simply trying to keep up with life. My goal is not to add to that pressure, but to create a space where you can slow down, process what you’re carrying, and build practical tools to manage stress, anxiety, overwhelm, and life transitions. Together, we work on building coping skills, managing stress and anxiety, improving self-understanding, and finding healthier ways to navigate the demands of everyday life. I support college students, young adults, and returning students in creating more balance while still making space for who they are outside of school, work, and expectations.
College can be exciting, but it can also feel overwhelming at times. I help students navigate stress, anxiety, relationships, and life transitions in a supportive, judgment-free space. We’ll work together to build coping skills and find strategies that fit your unique needs. Whether you’re adjusting to campus life, managing academic pressure, or looking for someone to talk things through with, I’m here to support you.
If you are not living the life that you know you could be living, if you are often tense and worried and have a hard time relaxing, if you have difficulty enjoying what life has to offer: give yourself a chance to be happier and to enjoy life! I have over 20 years of experience as a psychotherapist, I am easy to talk to, and I don't judge. I want to help you learn to take care of yourself, to relax and be happy, and to optimize your performance in all aspects of your life. I enjoy helping students feel well, function at an optimal level in class & lead happier lives. I also help athletes & performance artists realize their potential and achieve peak performance.
HeartWork Psychology offers individual therapy services to adolescents and adults. We promote wellness and vitality through integrative and personalized care. We believe that therapy is a collaborative process that can lead to powerful transformation and personal fulfillment. Our approach is to collaborate with you and use what matters most to you as a guide towards making important changes in your life. The specific strategies and tools that we offer help shift your relationship to difficult thoughts and feelings, and facilitate movement towards your personal goals. We have extensive training in evidence-based approaches, including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT). We use these research-informed approaches within a culturally sensitive framework and strive to create a space that is respectful, warm, and welcoming to all. In an effort to promote social distancing and help slow the spread of COVID-19, we are currently conducting all therapy sessions via secure video or phone.
My clients enjoy the warm rapport they have with me. I approach each client from a unique perspective as each client is unique. I collaborate with them to understand their needs and goals, and from there I create a treatment plan that is special for them. I believe that each client has a story that can be retold in a new way, and a story that is still being written, so the middle and ending can change as the client transforms. The approaches I use are a blend of cognitive-behavioral, narrative and humanistic, as well as various techniques from other theories (as appropriate for the client). The first step towards healing and living a fulfilling and enriching life is to reach out to those who can support you, and I'm always honored to provide that support to my clients. I want my clients acquire practical tools to use in between sessions so they can learn to become their own healer with time. If you feel like I could be the person to help you, please don't hesitate to contact me. Throughout my career, I've worked in different settings with many populations, including providing treatment to clients with depression, anxiety, addiction, Autism and other developmental disorders, relationship and family issues, issues of confidence, self-esteem and motivation, and I specialize in working with clients that are looking to find their path and purpose in life. In addition to being an MFT, I'm a certified yoga teacher and I promote an overall program of wellness through mental, physical & spiritual health and nutrition. Together, my clients and I create magic!
