About Ingbritt
Transitions often bring challenges that test our resilience, yet it is through these very struggles that we experience the most profound growth.
My Path
Like many, my life has been shaped by changes and transitions. As a child, I immigrated to the United States with my European parents and was raised in Santa Cruz, California. This experience was challenging as we faced cultural differences and the isolation that came from lacking extended family and familiar community support. Over time, we cultivated a sense of belonging and grew to appreciate and love our new community.
After a rewarding 30-year career building a branding and design company in Silicon Valley, I realized my professional calling had shifted. I wanted to redirect my energy from helping businesses grow to helping people grow. Having run a company in the heart of tech culture, I understand firsthand the unique, high-pressure stressors and intense demands of working and living in the Bay Area.
My path to counseling psychology was also shaped by walking through deep personal transitions with loved ones, including caregiving and supporting family members through chronic illness and the challenges of aging. Having navigated the sense of loss and identity shifts of my own major career transition, I bring deep empathy and practical insight to my clinical work. I am dedicated to walking alongside clients as they process difficult life changes, heal, and intentionally shape their own next chapters.
My Qualifications
I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) in California. I earned my master’s degree in Counseling Psychology from Santa Clara University and completed my clinical training at Community Health Awareness Council (CHAC), a nonprofit mental health services agency. My experience includes providing school-based individual and group therapy to elementary school students, as well as providing comprehensive therapeutic services to adolescents, adults, couples, and families within a clinic setting.
