About

Hi — I'm Brittni.

I work with adult women who have spent a long time being called capable and feeling like they were faking it.

I also have ADHD. I was diagnosed as an adult, which puts me in good company: research consistently finds that girls are identified at roughly half the rate of boys in childhood, with the gap narrowing considerably by adulthood.1 A great many of us spent decades being described as sensitive, scattered, dramatic, or not living up to our potential, and were handed everything except an accurate explanation.

I don't share that to make this about me. I share it because when a woman tells me she reread her own childhood report cards after her diagnosis and cried, I am not working from a textbook.

[Brittni — this is where your story goes, and we'll write it together. Worth deciding: how much of your own path you want to share, what pulled you specifically toward ADHD in women, and what you want a reader to feel in the first ten seconds. Two to four short paragraphs is right — long enough to be a person, short enough to read on a phone.]

[Second paragraph placeholder — the "why this work" turn.]

Credentials and training

What I'm licensed in, what I'm certified in, and what I'm still learning.

I would rather show you what I am actively studying than imply I ever finished learning. Here is the full picture, in plain language.

License

Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW)

A clinical license issued by the California Board of Behavioral Sciences. It requires a master's degree in social work, thousands of supervised postgraduate clinical hours, and passing a clinical examination. It is what permits me to provide psychotherapy, and it is why therapy is limited to clients physically located in California. License [#], active and verifiable through the Board's public license lookup.

Certification

ADHD-Certified Clinical Services Provider (ADHD-CCSP)

A specialty certification granted by Evergreen Certifications for clinicians who complete advanced training specific to ADHD across the lifespan and meet defined professional and continuing education requirements. It is not a license and it does not expand my scope of practice. What it does mean is that my ADHD work is not something I picked up incidentally alongside general practice: it is a deliberate specialization I trained for and am accountable to maintaining.

Certification number 116465, valid through August 2028.

Certificate

Somatic Yoga

Training in body-based, nervous-system-informed practice. This matters for ADHD and trauma work because regulation is physical before it is cognitive, and because talking about a dysregulated nervous system is not the same as changing one.2 I use somatic approaches as part of therapy where they fit, not as a substitute for clinical treatment.

Certificate

Women's ADHD Care

Focused training on how ADHD presents, gets missed, and changes across a woman's life — including the influence of hormonal shifts across the menstrual cycle, pregnancy and postpartum, and perimenopause.3

Currently deepening

Complex PTSD and somatic approaches

This is ongoing rather than finished, and I will say so plainly rather than dress it up. ADHD and PTSD co-occur in a substantial share of adults, and each makes the other harder to see clearly.4 I am building depth here because the women I work with need it, and I will always tell you when something sits outside what I am currently trained to treat.

[Brittni — add specific trainings in progress here, with expected completion dates if you'd like.]

What I believe about ADHD care

The framework I bring to every session.

Non-pathologizing by default. ADHD is a difference in how attention, motivation, and regulation are organized. Real impairment is real, and it is still not a verdict on your character.
Late recognition is a loss worth naming. Grief about the years you did not know is not self-pity. It is accurate.
Trauma and ADHD get held together. Not sequenced into separate appointments, and not collapsed into the same thing.
Context is treatment. Hormones, caregiving load, sleep, and relationships are not background noise. They are frequently the variable that changed.
You are the expert on your own week. My job is to bring clinical training to the table, not to overwrite what you already know about your life.
