I'm a Licensed Professional Counselor. After completing training in mental health counseling at Capella University, I began practicing in several different settings from residential to outpatient.

Dr. Bright uses an Integrative approach to counseling. She incorporates mindfulness-based interventions focused on meditation and relaxation, as well as Humanistic, Psychodynamic and Narrative orientations. Her main values as a counselor include establishing and maintaining a strong rapport and authentic relationship with clients, helping clients create a holistic sense of self, and instilling power and improved self-worth through exploration of the diverse issues and identities that impact clients’ lives.

Whatever brings you to my office, you will be met by someone who truly cares to help you discover the tools and strategies that will help you now and will stay with you to meet future challenges. In a comfortable and safe environment, you can identify and expand on strengths and resources, examine past behaviors that no longer serve you, and apply healthier skills to better cope with the stresses of today and the changes tomorrow will bring. My almost twenty years of supporting adults, teens, and children deal with issues from anxiety and depression, to couples and parenting struggles, to life transitions and loss have prepared me to help you find the solutions you need to make a positive difference in your life. I truly look forward to being of service to you, your partner or spouse, or your children and family.

You are not alone; We are in this together! Your growth is important to me. Welcome, I would like to commend you for making the first step in seeking support and change. Give yourself a pat on the back. It took much courage to get this far. As a licensed professional counselor, certified in working with Diverse populations, I empower, support, and provide guidance to groups and individuals to help them overcome personal obstacles through tele-therapy. I will use a variety of theories and interventions to facilitate in helping you heal and achieve your personal goals. I have worked with adults, teens, and children in helping identify behaviors and thought patterns that interfere with meeting their goals. I work with depression, anxiety, self-esteem, ADHD, defiance, trauma, co-parenting, relationship issues, behavioral issues, transition issues, attachment issues, and grief. As a therapist, I understand everyone’s journey is different. Allow me to walk with you as we explore the different ways to achieve treatment goals based on the changes that you’d like to make in your life. The practice is dynamic and impactful. You are not alone; We are in this together! Your growth is important to me.

My treatment approach is to help people understand their current life problems and teach strategies and tools to help manage unhealthy thoughts and behaviors. I understand the importance of the relationship between therapist and client, and I strive to create a safe, nurturing environment which facilitates change and leads to resolution of problems. With an incorporation of complimentary approaches, I draw from an array of techniques and methodologies to build a treatment plan that will be most helpful for the client. In a supportive and comfortable environment, I provide a highly individualized approach customized to each of my clients specific needs to help them achieve the personal growth they're reaching for. By collaborating with each client, I work to cultivate strengths and accomplish life goals.

Have you found yourself constantly apologizing when you have made a misstep, or agreeing to something you do not want to do, or suddenly overcome with anxiety? Or, maybe, you rage at someone because they upset you and then feel guilty afterwards? If so, you have come to the right person. I am a therapist who believes that someone who has a past filled with abuse, neglect, or difficult circumstances has become imprisoned by their past. They have memories deeply engraved in their brains, which have caused adaptive strategies to form in order to survive and be safe. I also believe there is a way out. I can help you learn to reprogram your brain so that you are able to tell the difference between your adaptive reactions and what are thoughtful ones. Also, to find an internal sense of safety that counteracts the effects of an unsafe, unwelcoming hostile world. Thus, to be able to recognize who you really are without needing the previous, adaptive parts to be able to stay safe.

Are you in a relationship that you aren't sure is right for you? Do you find that you would like to be more connected to significant people in your life but find yourself struggling to create the intimacy you desire? It is human nature to want to be connected to other people, yet many of us put walls up and make that connection difficult. Or we may gravitate to relationships that are not healthy for us. We may continue with old habits that at some point served a purpose in our lives, but as we grow we find that the more we continue operating in the same patterns we get less of what we actually want in our relationships. I can help you identify patterns that keep you stuck and prevent you from connecting the way you would like to in your relationships. I can help you learn new ways of being in a relationship and connecting. If you are reading this you are aware that something you are doing is no longer working, something needs to change. Healing and growth are possible and you can have the relationships that you want. I view therapy as a process, a journey of discovery and learning. As your therapist I will be part of your journey by providing a nonjudgmental and supportive atmosphere. My goal is to create a safe space where you feel free to express your deepest concerns, thoughts and emotions. I believe that in order to move forward in our lives it is essential to deal with emotional pain, anxiety and stress we may be carrying. Therapy can help recognize and face unresolved pain and conflict that may be affecting you in negative ways. I believe that the client therapist relationship is the most important part of therapy. Through our relationship my hope is that you acquire an improved understanding of yourself and attain balance in your life. I can help you find the answers that lie within you. I have experience working with a wide range of issues including relationship issues, intimacy, motherhood, parenting, anxiety, life transitions, family conflicts & emotional concerns.

I specialize in helping women move beyond coping into healing: addressing long-standing patterns rooted in anxiety, trauma, people-pleasing, or perfectionism. My approach blends Internal Family Systems (IFS), eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR), dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), and a strong emphasis on self-compassion. Therapy with me is warm, respectful, and transformative.

Relationships make up the core of our lives. They can be fulfilling, yet also challenging at times. When we get stuck in our relationships, it can be helpful to know that there are many options. My role is to assist you in determining where you are in your relationship; what choices are available for you; which road you want to take. Let me be your guide towards which road to travel. I am also a Divorce Coach and work as a member of the Collaborative Law team of professionals.

I try to meet people where they are. Therapy can look very different person to person. We reevaluate your needs each session to see if we should modify our goals or process in order to better suite your mental health and overall needs. I try to be proactive and productive but also allow time for things to move at a natural pace. I have 7 years of experience working in a variety of settings and serving a diverse population of clients. I have additional training in trauma, anxiety, PTSD, depression, and bipolar disorder issues. I also have a lot of experience with substance use including working at a detox unit and working regularly with clients to achieve their sobriety goals in an outpatient setting. I have spent much of my time practicing individual and couples therapy treating a wide range of issues and that is mostly what I do today.
