Individual therapy and counseling are offered to support a range of concerns that affect mental well being, daily functioning and relationships. Conflict and disconnection in relationships, or symptoms of anxiety, stress and depression are often the impetus for seeking therapy.
Stress creeps in when life’s demands pile too high, pressing down until you’re stretched thin—deadlines, responsibilities and curveballs leaving you tense, drained, or snappy. Brooke brings her decades of mental health know-how to lighten the load, blending practical tools and support to help you recharge, reset, and find balance again.
Exhaustion: She offers coping skills and self care support to restore energy and increase resilience.
Irritability: Brooke’s guidance helps you to be more present with loved ones and experience everyday joys.
Depression can rob you of your energy, motivation and joy. Brooke knows how to partner with you to identify baby steps and get moving again. Depression is often connected to isolation and suppression of emotions. Talk therapy and communication skills help to relieve the emotional burden that can weigh us down, making room for hope again.
Many of us learned negative patterns in our dysfunctional families; parents and caregivers often have good intentions but lack awareness and the skills that are essential to building healthy, secure relationships. Common patterns like “stuffing” our emotions, people pleasing, lashing out or being unable to control our anger erode relationships over time.
Codependence: Brooke helps you identify and express your feelings and needs and begin setting healthy boundaries.
Reactivity: She teaches emotion regulation skills so that you can respond instead of react.
Conflict: Brooke shares communication and conflict strategies to help you build greater connection and trust in all of your relationships.
Let’s face it, parenting can be one of life’s greatest joys and greatest challenges. Just when we think we have one age/stage handled, kids change! And their needs change. Add our own stress and unhealed past to the equation and we can find ourselves stuck in a vicious cycle with no way out.
Power Struggles: As a former parent educator and the parent of a teenager, Brooke will help you navigate the challenges of parenting at all developmental stages.
Discipline: She helps you to recognize opportunities to teach and guide your child through difficult seasons and how to command, not demand, respect.
Disconnection: Brooke helps you reestablish connection and trust in your relationship with your child of any age.
Unprocessed trauma can be extremely disruptive. It can put you on high alert, make you over-reactive and impact your ability to function effectively in your life and relationships. Re-experiencing trauma and preoccupation with traumatic events can lead to extreme anxiety, mood fluctuations, isolation and sleep issues, accelerating a downward spiral of guilt, shame and self blame. It is not your fault.
Anxiety: Brooke walks alongside you on your recovery journey, creating a safe place for you to acknowledge and process events from the past, reducing feelings of overwhelm, hypervigilance and loss of control.
Guilt: She teaches the neuroscience behind your trauma symptoms to help you begin to release guilt and shame.
Mood: Brooke shares effective coping strategies so that you can learn how to regulate your mood and nervous system and start rebuilding your life.
Loss takes us on a roller coaster ride of intense emotions. Depression, anger and numbness are all natural responses when we are trying to adapt to the absence of a loved one. Having a safe place to share the ups and downs with a supportive professional during this time can be extremely helpful to process the intense emotions that disrupt our daily lives and sense of self.
Depression: Brooke listens deeply and helps you navigate the strong emotions that come with grief.
Loneliness: She helps you have grace for yourself while you are adjusting to the absence of your loved one and to live more in the present.
Hopelessness: Brooke gently guides you to integrate loss into your life and create a new vision for your future.
