Meet The S&S Therapists

Navigating an interracial relationship can present unique challenges and opportunities for growth. As a therapist experienced in working with interracial couples, I understand the importance of acknowledging and addressing cultural differences and the impact of societal attitudes. We will build communication skills, cultural competence, and validation techniques in session. Together, we can create a supportive environment where both partners feel heard, respected, and valued, fostering a deeper connection and mutual understanding.

Processing traumatic events can be difficult at any age. I get it. I know you want to move forward, but may struggle with flashbacks, anxiety, depression, and self-esteem. We can work together so you have the skills to cope with the events that have led you here. In my office, you will feel valued and comforted in knowing you have landed with a therapist who values who you truly are and recognizes your strengths. Wherever you are on the journey of overcoming the past, know I will be there to ensure you aren’t alone.

I thrive when working with individuals and couples who are looking to find their purpose, , process relational issues and/or divorce, heal from abuse (physical, emotional, neglect, & narcissistic), and deeper their connections.

In my free time, I love to thrift, travel, propagate plants, and try every coffee shop to find the best. I’m also an enneagram 2!

I can’t wait to meet you and be a part of your supportive circle

Julianna is a Master’s level intern studying clinical social work at the University of Tennessee, Knoxville. She earned her undergraduate degree in Psychology from Middle Tennessee State University and is set to graduate with my MSSW this May 2026. She is  passionate about working with all populations, including teens, young adults, adults, military, and faith-based clients. Some of her background experience includes military service, ministry work, clinical counseling at a community-based mental health facility, and psychiatric inpatient work with adolescents.

Fun Fact: Her hobbies include gardening, playing sports, singing, and being in a book club. I enjoy spending time with my family and friends the most!

Therapy Belief: Every person should have a place where they feel heard, seen, and valued. I take a client-centered approach and am here to meet people where they’re at, listen to their story, and be a safe place for people to process trauma and everyday struggles.

Hi, I’m Brittany. I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with over 15 years of experience supporting people through some of life’s hardest seasons. I work with adults navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, substance use, ADHD, and other neurodivergent experiences. My ideal client is someone who is ready to work through their challenges with support and is open to growth and change.
My approach is warm, straightforward, and grounded in real connection. I believe therapy is most effective when you feel safe, understood, and free of judgment, and I work to create that from the very beginning. I use a mix of evidence-based approaches like CBT, DBT, EMDR, Somatic work, and Motivational Interviewing, but I don’t believe in a one-size-fits-all model. We’ll figure out together what works for you!

I take a holistic approach and am interested in how people make meaning of their experiences. I’m drawn to integrative perspectives that incorporate mindfulness and intuitive approaches to help clients better understand themselves and their inner experience. I am proudly LGBTQIA+ affirming and am committed to providing a safe, inclusive space for individuals of all gender identities, expressions, and sexual orientations. I also have a strong commitment to supporting women, including those navigating life transitions, identity, relationships, and the unique pressures women often carry.
Over the years, I’ve worked in a range of settings, including community mental health, the criminal justice system, private practice, and academia. Across these experiences, I’ve come to deeply respect the complexity of people’s stories and the resilience they carry, even when it feels hard to see. In addition to my clinical work, I’m also a Clinical Assistant Professor at the University of Tennessee, where I teach and mentor future social workers. I love helping people grow whether that’s in the classroom or in the clinical space.
Outside of my work, I’m an animal lover, enjoy gardening, and love to cook—things that help me stay grounded and connected in my own life.
If you’re feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or just not like yourself, you don’t have to sort it out alone. My goal is to help you make sense of what’s going on, build tools that help you move towards a life that feels more manageable and more aligned with who you are becoming.
