Licensed Therapist, Analyst, & Life Coach
Meet Dr. Briar
For more than 30 years, I have provided therapy for individuals and couples. Our work will explore how early relationships and unconscious patterns shape the way we love, struggle, and seek meaning.
Rooted in British Object Relations, my approach is thoughtful, relational, and deeply attentive to the unconscious patterns that influence how you love, struggle, and make meaning. Therapy unfolds at a steady pace, allowing insight to develop naturally and change to take hold in a way that feels authentic and enduring.

Therapy here is not about quick fixes. It is about thoughtful, transformative understanding.

Let’s Work Together
Choose the support that fits your needs and goals.
Individual therapy offers a dedicated space for in-depth work with adults exploring identity, loss, emotional repetition, and the complexities of creative or relational life. Together, we examine persistent feelings of sadness, anger, or anxiety with curiosity, seeking to understand the deeper emotional patterns shaping your inner world. Through a steady and reflective process, this work unfolds gradually, making room for change that is meaningful, lasting, and deeply felt.
Couples & Parent Guidance is designed for partners who feel caught in painful dynamics or long for a deeper connection, as well as parents seeking to understand themselves and their children more fully. In a thoughtful and balanced environment, we explore the emotional patterns shaping these relationships, fostering greater clarity, compassion, and mutual insight. This reflective space supports both couples and parents in reimagining connection, strengthening emotional attunement, and growing — together and individually — with greater understanding.
Life Coaching offers a focused, present-oriented space for those navigating transitions, professional decisions, or a general sense of feeling at a crossroads. Rather than dwelling on the past, this work centers on clarifying values, identifying obstacles, and moving forward with greater intention and confidence. Through collaborative conversation, we develop practical insight alongside emotional awareness, supporting clients in making decisions that feel authentic and aligned. This is a grounded, forward-facing complement to deeper therapeutic work, for those ready to take their next step.
Supervision is offered for clinicians drawn to psychoanalytic thinking and depth-oriented practice. Grounded in British Object Relations, our work focuses on the therapeutic relationship, transference and countertransference, and the ways the unconscious emerges in the clinical space. Through collaborative inquiry, we cultivate rigor, curiosity, and emotional honesty, supporting therapists who wish to listen more deeply and practice with greater meaning and integrity.

Questions? I've Got Answers
Everything you need to know before we meet.
How long are sessions?
50 minutes
How often do we meet?
Most clients start with weekly sessions, and we will work together to determine what best suits your needs.
Do you take insurance?
I'm an out-of-network provider, which means I don't bill insurance directly. However, I can provide you with a superbill (detailed receipt) that you can submit to your insurance for potential reimbursement.
Is everything confidential?
Absolutely. Everything we discuss is confidential and protected by law. The only exceptions are if there's an immediate risk of harm to yourself or others, suspected child or elder abuse, or a court order—all of which are rare and would be discussed with you. Your privacy and trust are paramount.
What's your approach or methodology?
My approach is thoughtful and collaborative. Rather than offering quick solutions our work focuses on helping you understand yourself on a deeper level so patterns begin to make sense, and meaningful lasting change becomes possible.
