About Brittany
My passion is to journey alongside people as they walk through some of life's most difficult situations. I am committed to helping people find peace and freedom from their past hardships, present conditions, and internal struggles.
My specialities include Trauma, Spiritual Development/Growth work, Personal Development, Mood Regulation (Depression and Anxiety), and Relationship Dynamics. In addition to the intensive training I received while earning my Master's Degree, I have taken several training classes to learn about specific therapies including; EMDR, DBT, and ISF.
For more information on what type of therapy would be a good match for you check out the Services page or Contact Me page.
I have my Master's Degree in Clinical Counseling from Denver Seminary. My Bachelor's Degree is in Sign Language Interpretation from Regis University. I am a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC), a Nationally Certified Counselor (NCC), and an Authorized Educational Interpreter (EIPA). I did my EMDR training through Maiberger Institute and have a certificate of of training allowing me to practice EMDR. My DBT training has consisted of a full-year of group training under a DBT certified therapist, and trainings offered by Dr. Lane Petersen giving me certificates that show my training in DBT.
In college, I studied Sign Language as that was a strong interest of mine. After graduating with my BS in ASL Interpretation, I worked for 9 years in the interpreting field. I worked in schools across the Denver area, including; Metro University, Community College of Denver, Red Rocks, Denver University, and University of Colorado.
After 9 years of working as an interpreter I came to realize my true passion; to journey along-side people as they work through internal struggles. I was no longer satisfied with being a bystander in people's lives, I wanted to work with people in a deep and meaningful way. I decided to get my Masters Degree in Counseling so I could serve my community in the way I most desired. I now work full-time as a counselor serving both the deaf and hearing community in the field of psychology.
Other accomplishments include publishing. I have been published for my research focusing on the MBTI and American Missionaries. For more information on this research check out the Announcements page.

From Maddie: Sometimes it can be hard to see things from a different perspective or work ourselves out of a bad spot. We ALL need a little bit of help when things in life become too much to handle on our own. I believe every human is capable of pursuing and accomplishing many things in life with the right tools. By utilizing modalities such as Narrative Therapy and Dialectical Behavioral Therapy, I help my clients to understand and use emotional regulation, strengthen interpersonal skills and increase positive communication within themselves and with others.
I am passionate about working with adults at all stages of life, adolescents girls, and those with medical trauma or chronic illness/pain. It would be an honor to help guide you on this journey.
