The Sordid Personal Stuff:

Born and raised in NY, Britt struggled for more than two decades with chemical/behavioral addictions, eating disorders, depression, anxiety, OCD, trichotillomania, crazy-making relationships, and complex PTSD. Eventually she found her way out of that mess (with a lot of help and a brief stint in a religious cult) and became a therapist.

When she’s not hanging from the ceiling practicing aerial arts or spending time with her family, Britt is a featured wellness expert on podcasts, blogs, and television.
