You don’t have to wait until life feels heavy to ask for help.

Maybe life feels heavier than you'd like to admit. Maybe you're tired of the same patterns, feeling disconnected in your relationships, or wondering when you'll finally feel like yourself again.

Or maybe things are going pretty well, and you want to keep growing.

Whatever season you're in, you don't have to navigate it alone.

Hi, I’m Brea.

Before I’m a counselor, I'm a wife, mom of three boys, and someone who believes healing starts with feeling genuinely seen, heard, and valued.

I want counseling to feel like a place where you can exhale, be yourself, and talk about the things that matter. We'll explore what's keeping you stuck, celebrate what's going well, and find ways to move forward.

A little about me:

  • I'm usually on the sidelines cheering on my boys, iced coffee in hand, of course.

  • I love a good audiobook, podcast, or reality TV.

  • My Christian faith shapes how I care for people. Faith can be part of our sessions if you'd like, but it's never an expectation.

  • I take this work seriously, but I always believe there's room for laughter, too!

My education and approach:

  • Master of Arts in Clinical Mental Health Counseling — Liberty University

  • Licensed Mental Health Counselor Associate (LMHCA), Washington

  • Person-Centered and Solution-Focused counseling

  • Informed by CBT, DBT, ACT, EFT, Attachment Theory, and Polyvagal Theory

  • SYMBIS and Prepare/Enrich Certified

I hope we get the chance to connect!

If you’re curious about counseling or wondering whether I might be the right fit, I’d be happy to chat. I offer a free 15-minute consultation to answer questions and talk through what you’re looking for.

Send me a note and I’ll respond within one business day to find a time for us to connect.
