Briana is a compassionate and dedicated Licensed Professional Counselor Associate who is passionate about helping clients build self-understanding, resilience, and confidence as they navigate life’s challenges. She earned her M.A. in Mental Health Counseling from New York University and her B.A. in Psychology from Rutgers University.

Briana believes that healing begins in a space where individuals feel safe, seen, and supported. She creates a warm, welcoming, and nonjudgmental environment where clients can openly explore their thoughts, emotions, and experiences. Her approach is collaborative and client-centered, emphasizing empowerment, personal growth, and emotional awareness while honoring each client’s unique needs, strengths, and goals.

Briana works with children, teens, and young adults who may be navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, mood disorders, ADHD, and self-esteem challenges. She works collaboratively with clients to develop greater self-awareness, strengthen coping skills, and build resilience while learning to manage life’s stressors, transitions, and emotional challenges.

In her clinical work, Briana takes a collaborative and client-centered approach and pulls from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Solution-Focused Therapy, Person-Centered Therapy, and somatic and mindfulness-informed techniques. She tailors her approach to each client’s individual needs and goals, helping clients develop practical skills, gain insight into their experiences, and create meaningful and lasting change.

Briana believes that every individual has the capacity to understand themselves deeply, build resilience, and create meaningful change. Her goal is to support clients in reconnecting with their strengths, developing greater confidence, and transforming challenges into opportunities for growth and healing.

Outside of the therapy room, Briana enjoys practicing yoga, exploring new places, spending warm days outdoors, listening to music, and spending time with friends and family. Her curiosity, warmth, and mindfulness extend beyond her professional work, enriching her approach to both life and therapy.
