Mrs. Brittany is a licensed and registered Physical Therapist who earned her Doctoral Degree in Physical Therapy from the University of Central Arkansas. She has over 8 years of experience in pediatric physical therapy. Mrs. Brittany has worked with kiddos ranging from 2 months to 18 years old in a variety of settings including school, outpatient, and early intervention.

Mrs. Brittany discovered her love for kids when she first became an aunt. She has always enjoyed babysitting, playing, and being involved in her nephew’s and nieces’ life. That interest grew in college when a mother spoke to her class about her appreciation and love for the therapist that helped her child become independent. It was the mother’s tears of joy that strongly urged Brittany to be on her path towards pediatrics. She decided she wanted nothing more than to be able to be that same exact therapist for every child that needed help reaching their full potential. 

Mrs. Brittany is married to her husband Cameron, and they have two little boys. She enjoys hiking, reading, playing at the park with her sons, and spending time with her family. Mrs. Brittany believes that therapy should be fun and entertaining and enjoys teaming up with her clients to find ways to make therapy most engaging. You will often see her playing on the floor or engaging in a fun game with her kids. She states, “I absolutely love to make therapy fun, and it is so easy to do that with the environment established at Farris Therapy!”
