My name is Bryenne, many people call me Bry (pronounced Bree). After almost 17 years as a public-school teacher, I decided to make a change and transitioned to community mental health in 2018. I love the work that I do! My role at Elite allows me to wear many hats, feeding my AuDHD need to be doing more than one thing at a time. “Oh look, sparklies!” 😊

As Director of Data & Compliance, I help our agency run behind the scenes. I love a good challenge, finding & connecting resources, data crunching, supporting our staff, and more.

As a Provider, I have a unique passion for working with those that identify with the PDA (Pathological Demand Avoidance) profile of autism, who are neurodivergent (ND), experience behavioral (internal and external) challenges, nervous system dysregulation, and/or are exploring support methods. In what other profession does your special interest get to be part of your daily life!

My current work is focused on caregivers/parents of those who identify as ND, via advocacy or consultation. I can help you explore your loved one’s neurology, manage symptoms, create and implement supports, coping mechanisms, navigate the complexity of school systems, problem-solve, point you to resources (books, websites…) and more. I bring experience as a parent of neurodivergent children and an educator, sensitivity, innovation, problem-solving skills, positivity, and a strength-based approach to my practice. I am a founding member of The PDA Therapy Collaborative (a group of mental health professionals committed to providing best practices and superior care). I believe in my soul that every human wants to learn, find ways to navigate life, and succeed; some just don’t yet have the tools to do so on their own.
