Hi! I’m Briana, a therapist who loves working with college students. I know this time in your life can feel exciting, overwhelming, confusing, and full of possibility—all at once. Whether you're dealing with stress from classes, relationships, identity questions, or just figuring out who you are and what you want, you're not alone. I've worked on college campuses for years and feel so lucky to be part of this chapter with the students I support.

I will help you heal from trauma wounds, while prioritizing listening to your body’s limits and needs. We will work together to reduce the impact trauma has had on your overall well being.
