BIO: Hi, I’m Britt!
Here are some words I use to describe myself:
neurodivergent
queer
musician
mother
gamer
beauty-seeker
trauma-informed
I might be a good fit for clients who:
are neurodiverse, or suspect they are
are creative
are queer
have religious trauma
have strong emotions
experience depression and anxiety
are feeling stuck
Here are the details:
I’m a person-centered therapist. I believe you are the expert on your own life, and my role is to support you in reconnecting with your inherent wholeness.
My approach is rooted in warmth, compassion, and curiosity, drawing inspiration from the teachings of Jung and Rogers. I incorporate
basic neuroscience and polyvagal theory to help make sense of your experiences, while integrating approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Narrative Therapy, Solution-Focused Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and elements of Internal Family Systems (IFS) as needed.
For those who are creative, I believe that nurturing your artistic well-being is essential to the healing process. I love incorporating music and the arts into therapy when it feels meaningful for you.
Ultimately, my aim is to walk alongside you as you reconnect with your sense of wholeness and navigate the ups and downs of life with greater ease and self-compassion. I look forward to meeting you!
EVENTS
Mindfulness-Based Full-Moon Ceremony
We cannot wait to host a few folks in our studio space for this evening of wellness-enhancing mindfulness as we release our burdens of the last moon cycle and set intentions as we move into the next. This is an opportunity to connect with yourself, community, and the natural cycles of nature. This event is by donation to go toward updating our community studio space. Email referralccw@gmail.com to register.
Make it stand out
Sara will be hosting her third TIY session of the year in our new studio space on Regent St. This is a small, intimate class with the purpose of safely connecting to the mind and body. For more information on the class, click here!
