www.wholehearttherapy.nycAbout Bri
I enjoy working with clients who are seeking guidance in creating new opportunities, whether you are excited or terrified by change. I help clients learn to regulate uncomfortable or overwhelming emotions that continue to affect your relationships with others, or to develop and/or maintain interpersonal relationships, as well as those experiencing depression and looking to healthily cope with their symptoms. As a member of the LGBTQIA+ community, I am ready to help you navigate your journey in self-discovery or work with couples in need of someone who can identify with them. I am also a Marine Corps Veteran.
My approach is client-centered; together we decide on your goals.. You are the expert of your life and experiences; I am here to offer guidance, tools, and therapeutic techniques. I have years of experience using CBT and DBT as therapeutic modalities, as well as Motivational Enhancement Therapy to help identify what drives my clients to seek changes.
Vulnerability is strength. Seeking answers through curiosity is half the battle. With my experience and your self-knowledge, we can identify problem areas, behaviors, symptoms, and emotions that could be affecting your holistic wellness. You’re in the right place; I will always work to ensure your needs are being met.

How do you work with clients with anxiety?
What should people thinking about working with you, know about you?
Why did you become a therapist, and what motivates you to continue?
I was told my whole life that I needed to be a therapist. I loved listening to my friends and offering genuine advice for as long as I can remember, but my life took me a different direction. I was on track to becoming a Physical Therapist when I suffered a tragic and sudden loss. After that, the only life I thought I could live meaningfully was as a therapist. I truly love what I do.
For people that are hesitant to try therapy, what do you wish you could tell them?
There isn't much to lose if you give therapy a shot. 50 minutes of your time if you aren't feeling it, but I encourage my clients to seek the right therapist. If we aren't a match, no hard feelings! I will even help you find someone who might be.
