About Brett
If cost has been keeping you from therapy, or if you’re drawn to a counsellor early in her career whose curiosity is still fresh, Brett is a strong first option. She’s a Master’s-level intern counsellor, actively supervised, and works at a lower fee point that makes counselling more accessible.
Brett works with Internal Family Systems (IFS), Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT). In the room, that looks like getting curious about the different parts of you that don’t agree, understanding the emotional undercurrents beneath the arguments you keep having with yourself or others, and building the psychological flexibility to hold what shows up. She describes her work with clients as being in the ocean together, which is her way of saying she’s with you in the water, wave for wave.
Brett does her best work with adults and couples navigating relationship concerns (with themselves or with others), life transitions, identity questions and the emotional difficulties that show up in the middle of all of that. If you are someone whose previous life experiences or circumstances have made connecting with yourself or others difficult at times, Brett is a good match for you.
Clients describe Brett as warm, easy to open up to, and good at helping them name things they’ve been circling for a while.
