Hi, I’m Brittany. I’m a counselling intern who offers a calm, supportive, and collaborative space for people navigating stress, anxiety, grief, addiction and substance use concerns, and life transitions. Reaching out for support can feel vulnerable, and I aim to create an environment where clients feel respected, listened to, and able to move at a pace that feels right for them.

My work is guided by curiosity, collaboration, and an openness to understanding each person’s experiences in their own context. I’m interested in how people have learned to cope with stress, loss, and change, and how these strategies may have been protective at one point, even if they no longer feel helpful. Together, we explore patterns, strengths, and practical ways of building greater emotional support and stability.

Background

I have a particular interest in grief and loss, including ambiguous and nonfinite loss, relationship challenges, burnout, emotional overwhelm, anxiety, and addiction and substance use concerns. I bring a culturally inclusive lens to my work and recognize that people navigate stress and adversity in many different ways, shaped by their histories, identities, and environments.

Before beginning my counselling training, I spent several years working in community and outreach settings supporting individuals experiencing complex mental health, addiction, housing, and social stressors. This experience continues to shape how I show up in the counselling space, with humility, compassion, and respect for resilience. Outside of counselling, I’m involved in animal rescue and spending time with my dogs. As an intern, I am committed to ongoing learning and clinical supervision, and I value building therapeutic relationships that feel safe, genuine, and steady.
