Welcome to Breyta Psychological Services! At Breyta, we are trauma specialists committed to providing compassionate, evidence-based care to help you navigate life’s challenges.

I utilize many modalities in my treatment but have most experience with mindfulness, CBT, DBT, and goal-directed/solution-focused therapy. I happily incorporate different approaches in my therapy style to best support you. I enjoy helping individuals change their cognitions to function in a healthier way. I balance listening, understanding, and questioning to help you find your best solution. I utilize education to help the client gain insight about potential changes to improve daily life, relationships, emotional control, and (most importantly): happiness. I am open to feedback and believe that therapy is client directed. My preference is for continual goal evaluation to measure successes and define challenges.
