My Approach
Awareness
In session, I use a combination of experiential modalities, including somatic work, nervous system support, and parts work to increase self awareness and integration.
Attunement
Attunement literally means to "tune in." Through these practices, the client will sharpen their ability to listen to their inner knowing and discern next steps.
Accountability
We will define realistic goals for change together and I will offer daily support via video chat
(M-F) to help you achieve them.
My Philosophy
Neuroscience shows us that our bodies and brains are meant for wholeness. This means flourishing, not just existing. Culture has trained us to believe that feeling neutral is "stability" and joy is an event we experience from time to time. If joy is missing, it means there is an active stress response in the body.
There are two types of stressors: A-Stressors and B-Stressors. B-Stressors are the typical ideas you may have about stress. Experiences that negatively impact our wellbeing. They are the bad things that happen to us. Common B-Stressors include things like work stress, unhealthy relationships, bad habits, community disasters, and more.
A-Stressors are harder to recognize. They are the absence of the things we really need to thrive. Examples include feeling seen, known, believed in, and having people genuinely delight in you. These stressors frequently go unacknowledged because they are foreign to us. We may not even recognize their absence or importance.
My strategy with clients is to integrate the mind, body, and spirit. We start by learning to disarm the stress response. My goal is never to bore you with more information, but to help you connect to the wisdom that is already inside of you.

My Story
Hi, I'm Brooke!
I was diagnosed with PTSD almost 15 years ago. I found myself disappointed with the mental health system because I was offered band-aids where I wanted real solutions.
In order to get the healing I needed, I studied how stress affects the human mind, body, emotion, and behavior. More importantly, I learned what skills, practices, and supports would actually help me live in the present. Through this process, I was amazed to find that I could begin to focus, find joy, have fun, heal relationships, break unhealthy food patterns, and follow through with the things I set out to do.
I am passionate about sharing these tools with others who are ready to do the same.
