Education
Brittany holds a Master of Arts in Counselling Psychology from Yorkville University and is a Registered Psychotherapist (Qualifying) with the College of Registered Psychotherapists of Ontario. She also holds an honours graduate certificate in Forensic Practice from Humber College and an honours Bachelor of Arts and Science in Interdisciplinary Studies from Lakehead University.
Her additional training includes Applied Suicide Intervention Skills, Non-Violent Crisis Prevention and Intervention, and Level 1 Neurorehabilitation training focused on recovery and everyday functioning following brain injury.
Work Experience
Before entering private practice, Brittany worked with a not-for-profit organization supporting people recovering from traumatic brain injuries. She helped clients navigate anxiety, depression, isolation, major changes in daily life, problem-solving, community integration, and rebuilding independence.
That experience shaped Brittany’s interest in the struggles that are not always visible to other people. In therapy, she works with clients who may be functioning day to day while privately feeling anxious, disconnected, overwhelmed, hard on themselves, or unsure of how to move forward.
Brittany takes a collaborative and practical approach to therapy, drawing from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), and Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT). She takes time to understand each client’s story and adapts therapy to their goals, values, and needs rather than relying on a one-size-fits-all approach.
Brittany has also volunteered with the Canadian Mental Health Association and other community organizations, reflecting her longstanding interest in mental health, community involvement, and supporting people through difficult circumstances.
Personal
Outside of therapy, Brittany enjoys a mix of adventure and quieter ways of recharging. She loves travelling, live music, reading romance novels, stargazing, and spending time with family and friends.
She has backpacked through France and Italy and enjoys trying new experiences and stepping outside her comfort zone. She also values slower moments and time spent outdoors when she needs to reset.
