Brynley believes the most important role of a therapist is as facilitator. In every interaction, her  driving concern is creating a safe holding space that will allow insight to arise naturally as you  walk your own, individually-tailored journey to healing and wellness. Above all else, she  prioritizes connection, curiosity, communication, and empathy. 

Given the diversity of personalities and life experiences that exist among people, Brynley does  not believe in a one-size-fits-all therapy. Consequently, she uses an eclectic approach in her  sessions, grounded in best practices, and drawing from a variety of tools and therapeutic  frameworks, with treatment style and content determined by the interaction between a client’s  unique needs and temperament and her own knowledge, experience, and intuition. Some tools  and frameworks used might include psychodynamic theory, family systems, CBT, mindfulness  and meditation, somatic work, affect focus, narrative therapy, and solution-focused work,  among others.  

Brynley has worked in a variety of 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 dealing with anxiety, depression, grief, managing  transitions, developing boundaries, interpersonal relationship building, personal empowerment,  strengthening resilience, and healing from trauma. Her greatest assets are her wide variety of  professional experiences, her own personal work as a trauma survivor, her creativity, her  curiosity, her warmth, and her authenticity. More than anything, she is a lover of people and  finds her deepest joy and fulfillment in seeing them heal, grow, and flourish in unique and  profound ways.  

Outside of her practice as a therapist, Brynley is also active as an artist, illustrator, designer,  and a mother of three.
