Nice to officially meet you!

I am a Chicago native, currently residing in Jacksonville, Florida and as a mother, lover, speaker, connector, empath, deep critical thinker, and holistic truth seeker—I’m here to provide the support in navigating life’s transitions.

I’m Brittany—a mental health therapist, author, researcher, and the founder of 2BE Well Therapy. I created this space for millennial Black and Brown women who feel emotionally overwhelmed but don’t always have the language for what they’re experiencing. The women I work with are often strong, capable, and high-functioning on the outside—yet internally stuck in cycles of overthinking, people-pleasing, emotional shutdown, or relationships that don’t feel safe, nourishing, or aligned.

Many of my clients don’t initially identify with the word anxiety. They’ve learned to normalize constant worry, hyper-independence, and emotional suppression because of their upbringing, environment, or survival experiences. My work helps women slow down enough to name what they feel, understand why their bodies and minds respond the way they do, and learn how to communicate their needs without guilt or fear of abandonment.

My approach to therapy is holistic, relational, and grounded in both science and lived experience. With a background in biochemistry, I specialize in translating complex neuroscience, nervous system responses, and trauma-informed research into practical tools that actually make sense in everyday life. I integrate somatic practices, reflective work, and culturally responsive care to help women reconnect with their bodies, build emotional awareness, and heal in relationship—rather than in isolation.

In addition to my clinical work, I’m the author of Sacred Self Care: A 10-Week Guided Workbook to Heal Anxiety, and a sought-after speaker and educator.

I facilitate workshops, group therapy cohorts, and community conversations that center emotional safety, connection, and self-trust. Whether through therapy, writing, or speaking, my mission is the same: to help women come back home to themselves, learn the language of their emotions, and build lives—and relationships—that feel grounded, honest, and sustainable.

If something here resonates, you don’t have to hold it alone. Whether you’re looking for one-on-one support to better understand your emotions and relationships, or you’re drawn to healing alongside other women in a supportive group setting, there is space for you here. I offer individual therapy for deeper, personalized work, as well as group therapy experiences rooted in community, reflection, and shared growth.

For those who prefer to start at their own pace, Sacred Self Care is available as a guided workbook to help you begin understanding your anxiety, nervous system, and self-care in a more grounded and relational way.

You’re welcome to explore the path that feels right—booking an individual or group therapy session, or starting with the workbook. However you choose to begin, you don’t have to do it alone.
