Embark on a Journey of Self-Discovery

I offer a mindfulness-based approach to therapy that can help you:

  • Move through anxiety, overwhelm, and depression

  • Expand capacity for difficult conversations & restorative approaches to conflict

  • Find grounding and presence during life transitions

  • Make peace with a critical inner voice

  • Identify feelings that are underneath negative thoughts

  • Become “unstuck” and experience the benefits of presence, compassion, and a mindful approach to life (with or without a meditation practice ;).

Growing up, I grappled with a harsh inner critic that manifested as defensiveness, pessimism, and judgment.

Although I appeared resilient on the surface, within, I harbored self-doubt, insecurity, and fear. I aspired to forge deep connections, yet I was constrained by unhealthy relational patterns that held me back.

My path toward healing gained clarity when I relocated to the West Coast. This shift provided the perspective needed to recognize the patterns I had developed in response to my shame-based upbringing on the East Coast.

Through dedicated wellness practices such as therapy, dance, education, and mindfulness, I got acquainted with my inner world, fostering a profound reconciliation with myself.

This practice expanded my capacity to connect with others in ways I had always yearned for.

I cultivated two invaluable resources from this transformation: self-compassion and unwavering self-acceptance.

My personal journey has been one of profound transformation.

Hi, I’m Bridgett (she/her).

I identify as a white, cis-gender woman, and stand as a steadfast ally of the LBGTQIA+ community and folks with non-monogamous relational orientations.

My roots trace back to a suburb of Pittsburgh, and since then, I have lived in 4 different states across the US.

I'm a serial entrepreneur, a dedicated music enthusiast, a plant mom, and a movement practitioner.

I am fascinated by the profound influence of small-group social dynamics and love exploring them with a bit of facilitated structure, like authentic relating and restorative practices.

“Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed individuals can change the world. In fact, it’s the only thing that ever has.” ”
— Margaret Mead

Social Wellness

My goal is to evolve my practice into an IRL (in real life) community space that provides a nourishing and restorative social sanctuary where individuals and groups can connect, thrive, heal, and cultivate belonging.

Afterspace focuses on providing a unique social wellness experience beyond traditional social spaces centered around alcohol culture.

Instead, we facilitate an intentional approach to social wellness that prioritizes genuine connections, personal growth, and healing in a restorative and nurturing environment.
