Hello!  I'm Brittany, the Founder of Embrace by Brittany.  My journey has been a unique blend of creativity and purpose, rooted in my experiences, as an African American Woman.  As an artist, therapist, designer and seamstress, I found my passion in creating beautiful, tangible things. 

I started my journey when I took a pivot of College Degree changes my Junior Year of College.  This was a bold move but I was determined and resilient to live in my purpose.  My purpose and passion is to provide individuals the opportunity to grow wth creative expression, mental well-being, and personal style.

I graduated with my Bachelors of Arts in Art Therapy (Psychology) in 2011 from Converse College (formely Converse University) Spartanburg, SC.  Initially I wanted to pursue a Bachelors in Biology in order to become a Veterinarian but this was pivoted due to knowledge of my true passion of Art and interest in the functioning of the mind along with a passion to help people.  This led me on a wonderful journey to discover the profound power of healing through art, self-expression and self-discovery! 

I continued my education and pursued a Masters Degree in Human Services Counseling with a Concentration in Health & Wellness from Libery University (Lynchburg, VA) in 2015.  After obtaining my Masters Degree I went to pursue my career path in the mental/behavioral health field.  Fot the past 12 years I have had the priviledge to work in Autism Residential Treatment Center, Inpatient Crisis Services, Outpatient Services, Substance Abuse Treatment Centers and as a Family Therapist.  

I am currently continuing education to obtain my Doctoral Degree to be able to extend my reach!

Brittany created Embrace by Brittany in 2016 and the business fully launched in 2021.  Brittany realized that everything in life has a specific timing and season, therefore, while patiently waiting for the launch, she was developing, planning and strategizing behind the scenes.

She has created a culmination of healing and self discovery with a goal to use her hadns and her heart to help individuals connect with their inner self and express their authentic story through intentional artistic expression and design.

Brittany's mission is to culminate art and well-being into everyday life!
