The path towards emotional healing begins with being heard.
Hurtful and traumatic experiences impact us in many different ways. Often times, after a traumatic experience, we are unsure of ourselves and how to connect back with ourselves and with the world. This often leads to us feeling depressed, afraid, hopeless, constantly exhausted, and isolated. It becomes a cycle, one that is so hard to understand how to get out of, which leads to us feeling even more lonely and unable to be helped.
Or sometimes, when we’ve tried to speak on how we’ve been hurting, we may have been shamed, rejected, dismissed or misunderstood, which furthers the thought that our pain is a burden not worth being shared.
But in the midst of the confusion and emotional pain, there is good news: help is available and your voice is valued and worth being heard.
Providing you with a confidential safe space to be yourself and share your truth unapologetically.
As a therapist, I strive to listen, learn, and validate in order to help identify your desired needs to heal and transform into a healthier version of who you want to be. Your appointments will take place in the comfort of your own home (or whatever other confidential space of your choosing) at your convenience by way of teletherapy.
Therapy that offers a listening ear and a passion to help others empower themselves.
As your therapist, it is my priority to create a therapeutic atmosphere that promotes safety, trust, empowerment, growth and positive change for you that is also trauma-informed.
I am especially passionate about helping those who are suffering from feeling unable to understand and manage depression, anxiety, life transitions, and unprocessed childhood, relationship and/or racial traumas.
Meet Briana
I am a licensed therapist providing telehealth-based psychotherapy to persons in the states of California and Ohio. I have been working in the mental health field for over 10 years in a variety of different settings, including inpatient mental health, schools, a sexual assault and intimate partner violence clinic, and community mental health agencies, while having direct clinical therapy experience for over 8 years. As a trauma survivor on the continuous path of healing myself, I understand emotional pain and how it has been an impairment on life functioning; I also understand how being given space to sharing what’s really going on inside helps to move forward with recreating a life that contains hope within the despair. This personal understanding drives my passion to help empower others to realize they deserve to have a fulfilling life after experiencing hopelessness.
