Brynley views the therapist's most important role as a facilitator. Her primary focus in every interaction is to create a safe and supportive space where insight can emerge naturally as you progress on your unique path to healing and wellness. She values connection, curiosity, communication, and empathy above all else.
Brynley recognizes that therapy is not one-size-fits-all due to the diversity of personalities and life experiences. Therefore, she employs an eclectic approach grounded in best practices, drawing from a variety of tools and therapeutic frameworks. The treatment style and content are determined by the interaction between your unique needs and temperament, combined with her knowledge, experience, and intuition. Some of the tools and frameworks she may utilize include psychodynamic theory, family systems, CBT, mindfulness and meditation, somatic work, affect focus, narrative therapy, and solution-focused work.
Brynley has worked in diverse settings, including homes, an outpatient mental health clinic, a shelter for women and children, a school, hospitals, long-term care facilities, and hospice. She has experience and interest in addressing anxiety, depression, grief, managing transitions, developing boundaries, interpersonal relationship building, personal empowerment, strengthening resilience, and healing from trauma. Her greatest assets are her wide range of professional experiences, her personal work as a trauma survivor, her creativity, her curiosity, her warmth, and her authenticity. Above all, she deeply cares about people and finds immense joy and fulfillment in witnessing their healing, growth, and flourishing.
In addition to her therapy practice, Brynley is also an artist, illustrator, designer, and a mother of three.
