This call is free and is helpful in deciding if I may be a good fit for you and your child's needs.
I have worked with kids and their families for over 25 years. My favorite children and teens are strong willed, capable, and smart (academic and/or common sense). I see kids ranging from 3 year old to college students. Some of the most common issues that I work with are ADD/ADHD, Oppositional/Defiant, Depression, Anxiety and Bipolar Disorders. Other general issues are poor social skills, difficulty with frustration, poor communication skills and parent- child conflict. Because so many of the families that I see are struggling with how get along easily, I prefer to include parents whenever possible.

Hello my name is Brooke! I primarily work with children, teens, and young adults, addressing ADHD, Autism, Giftedness, Parenting, Parent- Child Relationships, Identity Issues, Self-Esteem, Anxiety, and Depression. I have a passion for working with individuals that feel misunderstood. I believe that at the root of feeling misunderstood lies a disconnect within ourselves that creates a disconnect with our outer world. We often engage in the act of "comparing ourselves," as it's hard not to! As a therapist, I love guiding my clients to look inward and witness them realize, "I am my best thing."

Let me help you create a better tomorrow for you and your child.
Parenting can be difficult. This is especially true when your child is experiencing behavioral problems. Whether it’s problems within the parent- child relationship, academics, peer relationships, or difficulty managing emotions, I can help. Young children are unique in their experience of the world and the challenges they face. My experience in the Birth to Five field as well as working with individuals of all ages has provided me the opportunity to help families from many different backgrounds with a variety of problems.

Understanding through listening and then moving toward action create an ideal environment for change. I bring a positive and challenging approach to therapy. One of my strengths is aiding clients in identifying alternative perspectives and ways of behaving. Fundamentally, I believe our fears are often barriers to experiencing the growth and construtive relationships we all desire to have. Once we learn to face what we have been avoiding, alternatives generally present themselves allowing change to occur.
