You've worked hard to get to where you are today, but your trauma is still holding you back. Anxiety keeps you up at night. You can't quiet the voice in your head that's telling you you're not good enough. You feel disconnected from other people and wonder how others seem to maintain their relationships. And interactions with your family members leave you thoroughly exhausted. You're suffering from the legacy of childhood emotional neglect and trauma. You had to take care of yourself from a very early age because there wasn't anyone else to do it. Now, you're struggling to stay afloat and maintain the life you've always wanted. It’s time find peace with your past and create a life you love. If you're ready to break free from repetitive thoughts and behaviors that hold you back, heal from past hurt and trauma, develop a greater sense of inner peace and self-confidence, improve your relationships with others and yourself, and reconnect with your body and emotions, then keep reading. My specialty is working with adults who have experienced childhood emotional neglect and trauma. I'm a Level 2 trained IFS clinician, and I bring years of experience to helping my clients heal and live the lives they want to live. It's possible for you, too.

I work primarily with those suffering from chronic illness. Difficult to treat medical conditions such as fibromyalgia, chronic fatigue syndrome, chronic Lyme disease, multiple sclerosis, Lupus, etc. are often poorly understood, and it can be very difficult for patients to find the help and support they need. I teach my clients tools for coping with and managing every day life with these conditions, in addition to mind body medicine practices to help alleviate symptoms and to decrease stress. I have recently started offering Ketamine Assisted Psychotherapy as a way to cope with life stressors or trauma.

I believe the role of a therapist is to be more than a reflective and empathetic companion in the client’s journey and must also incorporate directive approaches in order to alternate between being a companion and being a leader on that journey. Inherent in this belief is that clients are coming to therapy because they want something different than what they currently have. This can be as simple as a new perspective on a past or current struggle or as complex as a new skill set for managing and overcoming emotional, behavioral, cognitive, relational, or somatic patterns that have arisen in response to emotional distress. My theoretical orientation is rooted in Systems Theory and I utilize interventions from Family Systems Therapy, Internal Family Systems, CBT, DBT, Motivational Interviewing, ARC, as well as Somatic and Mindfulness based psychotherapies. I have over 15 years of clinical experience working with adolescents, college students, adults, couples, and families. My experience has shown that change is typically hard work and often requires compassionate and collaborative support in order to build new skills. I see clients in both Oregon and Massachusetts and I offer a 30 minute free video or phone consultation to see if I am the right fit for you.

Hi there! My name is Brianna. I’m a Licensed Certified Social Worker that graduated from New York University with a Master’s Degree in Social Work. My experience lies in helping children, adolescents, college students, young adults, and families with varying backgrounds, some including: anxiety, trauma, self-esteem issues, depression, neurodevelopmental disorders, and relationship concerns. Being a college student comes with a lot of demands and transitions. This time in your life, while exciting, can also be exhausting and strenuous. College life looks different for everyone! Whether you are a student-athlete, living at home, constantly in the library, in a fraternity or sorority, or anything else college may offer, you have a set of pressures you face daily. It is my goal to create an environment in which my clients feel safe and comfortable so that they can reach their fullest potential. Therapy can be difficult, but it also can be a great experience! I look forward to hearing from you and learning about how I can support you!

Hello! I am currently accepting new patients. All visits are through telemedicine, so I can see anyone in the state of Massachusetts, New Hampshire, or Colorado. My love for what I do in psychiatry, comes from the joy I get in helping others improve their lives. Most of my patients do not know which direction to go when then come to me, and that is ok. Some people come to me looking for second or third opinions about diagnosis or medications, some people are referred by a therapist to start medication. We can openly discuss decisions and options. This is a judgement free zone. There is no way you can TMI me! My primary role in our sessions is diagnosis, evaluation and medication management. The role I have in therapy is very small. Most clients are already in therapy or have been referred by therapists to me. All sessions are conducted by tele-medicine. **Offering flexible hours, evening appointments available, also some weekends. **

Virtual Therapy for students of color, LGBTQIA+ students, international students, third-culture kids, and anyone who’s ever felt like they don’t fully belong. On the outside, you might look like you’ve got it together. Inside, it feels different: - Racing thoughts that won’t stop - Tension in your body and exhaustion you can’t shake - Sleep struggles—restless nights or oversleeping to escape - Eating out of sync—skipping meals, stress eating, or feeling disconnected from hunger cues - Mood swings, irritability, or emotional flatness - School, friendships, romantic relationships, and even self-care feel overwhelming - Isolating when you actually crave connection ✨ This isn’t just “stress.” Often, it’s unprocessed trauma—from childhood, cultural pressure, identity struggles, or painful past experiences—that quietly fuels anxiety, depression, and feeling stuck. My approach: - Not quick fixes or endless coping skills - Trauma-informed and holistic therapy - Tools like Brainspotting + somatic therapy to help your nervous system heal, not just your thoughts - A space to uncover the root of what’s keeping you stuck and move toward lasting change What you can expect: - Feeling more grounded, present, and connected—to yourself, your community, and your future - Support from someone who gets it: as an Asian clinician and former international student, I understand the challenges of navigating multiple cultures and expectations - A space where you don’t have to over-explain—you can show up fully, take up space, and finally feel seen

Healing is nuanced, deeply personal, and rarely linear. Having someone to talk to can help when things feel hard. Therapy offers the opportunity to show up exactly as you are, explore complicated feelings, make sense of your experiences, and find a way forward that feels right for you. I work with adults, particularly LGBTQIA2S+, who want to deepen self-understanding and develop more compassionate relationships with food and their bodies. Together, we can explore the many layers of who you are, reconnect with parts of yourself that may have gotten lost along the way, and find more freedom in being yourself. I’m a queer, nonbinary therapist with over a decade of clinical experience across multiple levels of care. My dialectical and holistic approach is grounded in queer affirmation, neurodiversity affirmation, body liberation, and harm reduction. If you’re interested in working together, please email me and we'll schedule a free phone consultation.
