Uncovering Patterns to Break Cycles

Hi, I’m Brianna

I’m a Licensed Professional Counselor-Mental Health Service Provider, Registered Play Therapist™, and Approved Clinical Supervisor with 8 years of experience working with women, children, and teens throughout the Nashville, Tennessee area. I hold a masters degree in Human Development Counseling from Vanderbilt University.

I believe that therapy is a basic human right and should be accessible to everyone. I desire to support people in understanding familial, environmental, and systemic influences that can impact the lens through which they see themselves. I’m grounded in a person-centered, strengths-based, and trauma-informed approach, creating spaces in which clients feel safe and comfortable to show up as they are. I utilize Cognitive Behavior Therapy, Exposure and Response Prevention, Play Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, measurement-based care and elements of Reality Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy.

Outside of being a therapist, you may find me engaging in a variety of crafts (sewing, embroidery, and knitting), spending time outdoors, and traveling.

My Services

Children (Ages 7-12)

I utilize a combination of child-centered play therapy and directive approaches to empower children to process big feelings through play while also utilizing activities and games to build coping skills. I partner and collaborate with parents throughout the entire therapy process through check ins before and after sessions and in parent-only sessions. I provide parenting feedback to help integrate therapy resourcing at home.

Teens (Ages 13-17)

I support teens experiencing anxiety, neurodivergence, depression, OCD, relational difficulties, and trauma. I prioritize creating safe and empathic spaces to ensure teens feel seen, heard, and understood. I collaborate with parents throughout while balancing teen autonomy to make the therapy space their own.

Adults

I work with adults who experience anxiety, depression, OCD, family/relationship conflict, and trauma by making space to identify sources behind unhelpful patterns and providing skills and strategies to make adjustments that better meet their needs and goals.

Licensure Supervision

I provide licensure supervision to clinicians seeking LPC-MHSP licensure in Tennessee. I utilize a combination of the Integrated Developmental Model (IDM) and the Discrimination Model to guide my approach to supervision. I currently meet with supervisees for individual supervision.
