She speaks plainly, listens first, and works with each person to find useful, realistic ways to move forward.

Bri has 14 years of experience, including work in substance use settings and independent practice.
Background and approach
That mix means she has seen issues from many angles and brings practical knowledge to sessions. In early career roles she supported people and families affected by substance use. More recently she has focused on common mental health concerns such as depression, anxiety, ADHD, PTSD, parenting stress, and life transitions.
She also has experience with grief, relationship strain, and compassion fatigue. Bri uses several approaches depending on the person and the problem. She describes her role as a guide, teacher, and helper who starts by getting to know each client.
Therapy centers on tools that fit the client’s daily life rather than techniques that feel out of reach. Sessions aim to build practical coping skills, reduce distressing patterns, and strengthen personal values and choices. Bri emphasizes client autonomy and works collaboratively to find approaches that feel doable.
She welcomes questions and focuses on steady, manageable progress.
Therapeutic approaches and online care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters to them and take small steps toward those values while learning to live with difficult thoughts and feelings. ACT can be useful for anxiety, stress, and life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and teaches practical strategies to change unhelpful patterns; it often helps with anxiety and depression. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes the person’s experience and autonomy, with the therapist offering nonjudgmental listening and support so clients can find their own solutions.Choosing an approach is a shared process. The therapist will learn about a person's goals, needs, and preferences and then recommend methods that fit. Sessions may combine elements from different approaches so the work stays practical and relevant to daily life.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, which give flexibility for different schedules and situations. Video works well for a regular weekly session, phone can be easier when bandwidth is limited, and text or live chat can serve for brief check-ins or between-session support. These options help people fit therapy into busy lives and keep continuity when in-person visits are difficult.
