Bridget is a licensed professional counselor (LPC) who approaches therapy as a collaborative, supportive journey rooted in trust, respect, and authentic connection. She believes that meaningful and lasting change begins with feeling seen, heard, and understood—not just by others, but by oneself. Bridget is dedicated to creating a therapeutic space that is safe, inclusive, and non-judgmental, where clients can explore their inner world with curiosity, courage, and compassion.

With a warm and grounded presence, Bridget helps clients build self-awareness, foster emotional healing, and support psychological growth. She works with individuals across the lifespan—children (ages 3+), adolescents, adults, couples, and families—offering individualized, developmentally appropriate care. Her experience spans a full continuum of mental health services, including inpatient, partial hospitalization (PHP), intensive outpatient (IOP), and outpatient settings.

Bridget draws from a wide range of evidence-based approaches, including:

• Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT)
• Dialectical behavior therapy (DBT)
• Acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT)
• Trauma-focused CBT (TF-CBT)
• Eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR)
• Mindfulness-based interventions
• Psychodynamic therapies

Cognitive restructuring (CR) and EMDR are powerful tools in therapy that help change the way the brain processes negative thoughts and emotional distress. When you consistently notice and challenge unhelpful thoughts (through CR), or process distressing memories in a safe and structured way (through EMDR), you're helping your brain build new, healthier pathways. Over time, this weakens old patterns tied to anxiety, fear, or negative self-beliefs and strengthens new patterns that support calm thinking, emotional balance, and confidence. 

Bridget is especially attuned to how shame, guilt, and inner conflict can lead to emotional distress and disconnection from self and others. Drawing on insights from affective neuropsychology, she helps clients strengthen emotional regulation, develop self-compassion, and build insight into their internal experiences. She views therapy as both a relational and neurobiological process—one that taps into the brain’s remarkable ability to adapt, grow, and heal over time.

Her areas of clinical expertise include:

• Attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD)
• Anxiety and panic disorders
• Depressive and mood disorders
• Trauma and post-traumatic stress
• Grief, loss, and life transitions

Outside of her professional work, Bridget practices what she encourages: intentional self-care, through time with her family, exploring the outdoors, reading, traveling, listening to music, and staying active.
