A FEW WORDS FROM BROOKE:
As a therapist, I use a person-centered and strengths-based approach to ensure that my client’s needs are central to the change process. I pull from a variety of techniques from different therapy models; sessions will be tailored to each individual person based on their unique needs. Through Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), I help clients acknowledge and embrace their wide range of thoughts and emotions. I also use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help clients understand the connection between their thoughts, behaviors, and emotions. When working with children, I use Play Therapy to help clients and their families explore emotional expression and regulation, heal from trauma, and navigate life transitions as a child. Attachment theory guides conversations with my clients about their early attachments and their impact on their interpersonal relationships. I see therapy as a collaborative process with my clients and believe that everyone has the capacity to change and grow. The therapy session is a safe space to explore emotions and behaviors, seek understanding, build upon strengths, and practice skills together.

​OTHER INTERESTS:
I enjoy being outdoors in various capacities (especially trail running!), drinking a good cup of coffee (or matcha) with friends, spending time with family, and creating pottery.  I’m looking forward to connecting with you soon!​
