She believes that addiction impacts the entire family system and that healing is most meaningful when loved ones are supported alongside the individual. Brittney is committed to creating a compassionate, nonjudgmental space where clients feel empowered to overcome challenges, strengthen relationships, and build healthier, more fulfilling lives.
Brittney earned her Master of Science in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Southern Connecticut State University. Her clinical experience includes working in residential treatment, outpatient mental health, intensive outpatient programs, and domestic violence services, where she has supported adults navigating substance use disorders, trauma, anxiety, depression, and co-occurring mental health conditions.
Her therapeutic approach is rooted in empathy, authenticity, and collaboration. Drawing from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Motivational Interviewing (MI), and trauma-informed care, Brittney tailors treatment to meet each client’s unique needs. She has a special interest in complex trauma, family systems, and helping individuals rediscover their strengths as they move toward long-term recovery.
Outside of her clinical work, Brittney enjoys horseback riding, hiking, and spending quality time with family and friends. She is also passionate about volunteering throughout Africa, where she supports initiatives focused on expanding access to mental health care, increasing awareness, and reducing the stigma surrounding mental health in underserved communities.
