Brianna is an Arizona native, born and raised in the West Valley, and relocated to Maricopa with her family in 2019. She is the proud owner of Northern Lights Therapy, PLLC, which provides mental health therapy to a variety of ages and needs. She holds several titles including Licensed Professional Counselor, Board Approved Supervisor, Certified First Responder Counselor, and Emergency Responder and Public Safety Certified Clinician. She received her Masters in Mental Health Counseling with a Forensic Concentration in 2012 and has worked in a variety of settings before opening her own group practice. Prior to embarking in a career in mental health, Brianna worked at Glendale PD as a detention officer and member of the Peer Support Team. She comes from an extremely long line of first responders and has made it her passion to help first responders deal with the trauma and crisis they experience on a regular basis. She enjoys breaking molds and finding ways to truly help individuals and families heal, rather than just placing a bandaid over the issue.

Outside of her professional life, she enjoys being in the mountains and trees. Her and her children enjoy traveling, spending time camping, and just seeing all that the world has to offer. She has been fortunate enough to travel to places such as Iceland and the Caribbean and plans to do more travels in the future. She enjoys adrenaline pumping activities as well, such as skydiving. 

Brianna proudly serves her community in a variety of ways and being invited to the Maricopa Police Foundation is another opportunity for her to give back for those that give their life to keep us safe. She hopes to bring a different perspective to the foundation and community as a whole with new and engaging ideas and growth opportunities.
