Therapy is one of those worthwhile challenges in life, but it should always help more than it hurts. Amber believes each person has the ability to meet their goals, and she partners with her clients to help them identify their strengths and put them into motion.

Brittny has a heart for helping individuals discover more of their true selves, assisting couples in learning how to get to “know” each other as God intended by design, and building cohesion in families. Brittny's approach to counseling is holistic, person-centered, solution-focused, cognitive-behavioral, systemic, and structural (i.e., cycles, systems, and boundaries). She enjoys teaching clients about their symptoms, thought processes, emotional responses, and behavioral and social patterns. She also values learning from them about what they need most as indicated through the therapeutic relationship. The goal is to help clients discover new ways to express their needs, practice gratitude and self-care, and set healthy boundaries to cultivate and maintain wellness. When working with couples, for example, Brittny may utilize PREPARE/ENRICH, Gottman Method, and/or Woodfellow’s Love Cycles/Fear Cycles model. She joins with them as they learn how to highlight their strengths, communicate effectively, rebuild trust and intimacy, and share their deepest desires and dreams. And because she believes that mental health derives from one’s soul health, she integrates spirituality into the healing process, as guided by the client. Brittny navigates her life with a Christian compass, but she welcomes her clients’ beliefs and positions on spirituality and in no way tries to impose her beliefs on them. Brittny's style of therapy involves homework (i.e., journaling, reading, completing worksheets, practicing coping skills, and utilizing support) to keep clients engaged in the healing process, so be prepared to get to work! Homework teaches clients how to practice new skills and cope independently between sessions to become advocates for their own healing. With a combination of collaborating with Brittny, God’s wisdom and guidance, and your commitment to the process, nothing less than transformative possibilities await you. Are you ready to do this good work?
