MSW, LCSW-A

Brianna (she/her) is a Licensed Clinical Social Work Associate (LCSW-A) who earned her Master of Social Work from UNC Chapel Hill. She brings warmth, curiosity, and deep compassion into her work, taking an affirming, person-centered, and trauma-informed approach to every therapeutic relationship she builds. Brianna believes that trust, collaboration, and individual choice are at the heart of meaningful therapy and she is committed to meeting each client at their own pace, honoring where they are and where they want to go.

Brianna specializes in working with children ages 2 and up, tweens, teens, and young adults, with a particular focus on complex trauma, neurodiversity, anxiety, depression, difficult life transitions, and emotional and behavioral concerns. She draws from a range of modalities — including play therapy, DBT, mindfulness, and trauma-focused CBT — and has specialized experience facilitating therapeutic skill-building groups that help children and teens build peer connection, communication, and collaboration skills.

Play is central to how Brianna works with younger clients. She believes that meeting children where they are, in their language, through their play, creates the space for clients of all ages to more freely express their inner world. Brianna is currently pursuing her Registered Play Therapist (RPT) credential through Child-Centered Play Therapy training under the supervision of Sara Bagramian, LCSW, RPT-S.
