Brittney's primary specialty is Eye-Movement Desensitization Reprocessing, or EMDR. EMDR utilizes the same eye movements or bilateral stimulation that occurs during REM sleep.  This stimulation activates problem-solving and processing.  By focusing on a problem, emotion, or distressing memory and adding bilateral stimulation, the brain can begin to process or problem solve.  In addition to EMDR, Brittney also utilizes principles of cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavioral therapy, and motivational interviewing.

In her free time, Brittney enjoys cheering on the Iowa Hawkeyes with her family and friends, spending time with her husband, being in nature, playing with her dogs, reading, writing, playing card and board games, and traveling.
