In sessions, as well as through the supervision I provide to others, I encourage a space for clients to feel comfortable expressing themselves in healthy and creative ways! I place a strong emphasis on skills training to establish positive relationships, strong communication and coping skills and mindfulness strategies to assist clients in progressing both independently, and as a part of their family or peer systems!

Meet Brittany
My purpose in life is to be mommy to my three littles; Maya, Noah and Ella. The four of us like to color chalk when it’s sunny out, have bonfires in the fall and travel as much as possible (we are all beach enthusiasts)! When I’m not being mom, I’m coach in the Dunkerton community where I coach varsity volleyball. With the little free time I have left, I enjoy camping, junk journaling, learning about anything new, watching documentaries, going to the movie theatre and visiting my family in Minnesota. I am a die-hard Minnesota Vikings fan so during Football season, you’ll find me cheering them on every Sunday – SKOL!
