I’m Briana, and am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist
(LMFT #130324).I believe that finding pleasure and joy is a birthright. I am also the proud owner of Sweetgrass Therapy, a group practice that is dedicated to holistic healing, and connection of self.
My therapy sessions blend laughter, tears, healing, a touch of sarcasm, and plenty of compassion. I guide clients through processing past trauma and understanding its impact on daily life. Together, we work on overcoming unhelpful coping mechanisms and fostering healthier relationships. Somewhere along the line, you may have learned to push others away, fear intimacy, people please, or feel unworthy of love. I will challenge you (softly) to start living your life through love, and help you to put fear to the side.
Some benefits you might get through therapy with me include:
1) Improved communication and closeness in your relationships by changing unhelpful patterns, 2) The ability to respond to your emotions rather than react to them, 3) Untangle/process and heal from past trauma, 4) Rewire your brain by having a more positive outlook on life 5) Therapy that is uniquely attuned to YOU and your personal needs.
Together, we'll develop communication skills, set boundaries, and nurture more fulfilling relationships. Seeking to enhance your connections and feel more engaged? Let's embark on this journey together, crafting stronger, happier bonds in your life.
Individuals and couples who identify as straight, gay, lesbian, bi, queer, trans, non-binary, poly, and kink, find a safe space in my office to explore their personal and relational issues. Let's write your next chapter together.
Struggling to open up? Want to let people in but find it tough? Keeping distance to avoid potential pain? Together, we'll uncover old patterns, freeing you to build better relationships with yourself and others.
Using attachment theory, I help you grasp relationship dynamics and foster healthier connections. By delving into your past and present relationships, we'll identify barriers to closeness.

After navigating through my own journey of healing and self-discovery, I realized the profound impact therapy can have on transforming lives. In my early 20s, I was faced with the weight of past trauma and I was longing for change. I battled constant fatigue, anxiety, autoimmune issues, and a dysregulated nervous system. I knew I had to make the conscious decision to embark on a path of healing. Through therapy, connection with nature and animals, meditation, journaling, education on trauma, and more, I underwent a pivotal evolution. It was a journey of liberation, where I finally met myself for the first time and experienced true freedom.
This personal journey fuels my passion as a psychotherapist. I understand the challenges of feeling different and struggling with unhealed wounds, and I'm dedicated to supporting others on their path to healing and self-discovery. My practice embraces individuals from all walks of life, including those grappling with chronic mental health issues and past traumas, as well as those yearning for deeper self-understanding. Together, we can navigate the complexities of healing and create space for growth, resilience, and profound transformation.
As an Indigenous woman, I have witnessed the power of storytelling and listening; I have always been fascinated by others and in providing a shoulder to lean on. I am eternally grateful to be a therapist and to have the incredibly humbling opportunity to witness others heal and evolve into who they are meant to be.
