Hello! I'm Brianna Nelson, a dedicated Marriage and Family Therapy intern with a rich background in social work. My experience spans multiple years, during which I've helped to empower individuals with mental health and developmental disabilities to gain independence and hope through community resources and direct supports.

I have a passion for helping people navigate life's challenges through finding joy and purpose even in difficult times. My approach to therapy is holistic—I believe that spirituality, nutrition, and daily practices play crucial roles in enhancing the quality of your life and relationships.

My work is guided by my ongoing EFT training. I enjoy working with couples to help them create better communication patterns and gain a deeper understanding of themselves and their spouse. My therapy style is assertive while also being judgment-free, empathetic, and supportive.

As a practicing Christian, I'm happy to incorporate faith into our sessions, and I also often integrate mindfulness techniques during sessions to enhance self-awareness, reduce anxiety, and promote acceptance of self and others.

When I'm not working with clients, you'll find me staying active through pickleball or the gym, traveling, enjoying time with my husband, family, and friends, watching The Office or Gilmore Girls, or learning about functional nutrition, the enneagram, nervous system regulation, or mindfulness practices.

I'm here to support you in finding hope, joy, and fulfillment in your relationship. Let's work together to create positive, lasting change!

I am an intern under the supervision of Amanda Pikala, MA, LMFT.
