Meet Brittany!
I’m a Marriage and Family Therapist and Certified Family Life Educator based in Richmond, Texas. I’ve always been interested in what happens beneath the surface of our relationships—how the families we grow up in shape us, how those experiences follow us into adulthood, and how hard it can be to change something you learned long before you had the words to understand it.
That’s a big part of why I do this work.
My Approach
My approach is relational, trauma-informed, and very human. I believe therapy works best when you don’t have to perform, so I show up as myself and invite you to do the same. If you’re looking for a therapist who brings warmth and compassion with no shortage of straight talk, I’m your person.
One of my favorite parts of being a therapist is gently calling out what you may need to hear in order to grow. I love getting deep, but therapy doesn’t always have to be serious. We can laugh at the TikTok you saw during last night’s doom scroll, sit quietly when there aren’t words, and make room for all the parts of you that show up along the way.
I draw from attachment-based and evidence-based approaches, including Emotionally Focused Therapy, Narrative Therapy, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. I’m also EMDR-trained and incorporate EMDR into my work when it’s a good fit. Sometimes, words aren’t the easiest way to make sense of what’s going on. When it feels helpful, I also incorporate sandtray therapy as another way to explore experiences, relationships, and emotions that can be difficult to express.
A Little More About Me
When I’m not in the therapy room, I’m usually spending time with my family, singing along to movie soundtracks with my daughter, or trying out a new restaurant with my husband. I love traveling, trashy reality TV, and scrolling Facebook Marketplace getting ready to rearrange my furniture again. A perfect Sunday looks like church, a big bowl of pho for lunch, and then strolling an estate sale.
Outside of being a therapist, I’m a wife, a mom, a daughter, a friend, and a person with complex relationships who is still figuring things out, too. I’ve been on the other side of the chair, so I know what it’s like to be the one sitting there. I want therapy to feel like a place where you can be honest. Not polished. Not “fine.”
I don’t have all the answers, but I do have hope for what can happen when you finally have a place to tell the truth about your story.
