MEET BRIANNA
Brianna completed her MSW through the University of Calgary, along with graduate certificates in both clinical social work, and advanced social work practice.
Brianna is passionate about early intervention and making therapy accessible by incorporating playfulness, creativity, and fun into her practice. In 2022, she had the privilege to train with Ana Gomez, who is an international leader in the treatment of trauma in children, becoming one of the first Certified EMDR Child Specialists in the province of Saskatchewan.
Nerding out about the brain and nervous system is one of Brianna’s favourite things, which consequently has sparked her passion for trauma work. Brianna has training in EMDR, Narrative Therapy, Play Therapy techniques, CBT and trauma-focused CBT.
Acknowledging the complexities of the social and neurobiological factors that impact our well-being, Brianna is committed to ongoing education to best be able to support the folks she works with.
When she’s off the clock she enjoys hanging out with her daughter, husband, and fur babies, drinking fancy coffee, watching reality tv, and finding fun ways to stay active.
