Brittany is a Licensed Professional Counselor, Registered Play Therapist, and a National Certified Counselor in Georgia. Her passion is helping children, age 3 up to young people age 25 and their families restore and rebuild the peace they’ve lost in their lives. She believes humans are designed to be intimately connected with others in loving and secure relationships. When that connection and safety become absent or broken because of life’s difficulties, emotional pain and behavioral issues often arise that are difficult to navigate alone. Brittany’s focus is on providing individuals (ages 3–25) with the tools they need to overcome their inner struggles, navigate challenges, and develop resiliency. Some of her specialties include working with anxiety, obsessive-compulsive disorder, depression, self-harm and suicidal ideation, ADHD, low self-esteem, divorce, grief, social skills/peer relationships, behavioral issues, transitional issues, and parent-child attachment work (helping parents connect with their children to build more meaningful relationships). She loves partnering with parents and other important professionals to help children reach their goals and succeed! Brittany has worked as a counselor in a variety of settings, such as nonprofit organizations, animal-assisted therapy programs (utilizing dogs, horses, and dolphins), private practice, and the school system. She primarily uses play therapy and cognitive-behavioral approaches to help her clients achieve self-awareness and emotional healing. In her free time, Brittany enjoys spending time with family and friends, being outdoors, traveling, and playing sports.

Do you struggle with anxiety that affects your day-to-day life? Do you feel overwhelmed by your relationship and worry you’ll make the wrong decision? Have you had life changes that have been difficult to accept? You’re not alone. While you may feel isolated, you’re not the only one experiencing anxiety and uncertainty. And things can get better. I help clients learn healthy coping skills to explore and manage anxiety, life changes, and relationship issues. I use mindfulness techniques (breathing skills), CBT, and narrative therapy. For every session, I seek to create a warm and inviting space where clients feel at ease to be vulnerable and discuss and explore change. It’s important to me to provide a safe place for cultural diversity and differences in gender and sexual orientation.  I believe that anxiety doesn’t have to control your life or change your dreams.
