My internship experience begins at Austin Family Care, a group practice that works through a systemic lens offering individual, family, children/adolescent, couples, and group therapy. Whether you've already identified your therapeutic goals or are simply seeking a collaborative space for reflection and support, I'm here for you.

Welcome! Mental health is my passion. Working alongside diverse clients brings me fulfillment. My experience ranges from non-profit settings, private practice, and domestic violence shelters. In therapy I like to engage folks in mindfulness, expressive techniques, and body-oriented/somatic techniques. I am EMDR trained and enjoy utilizing this tool to help clients move forward with healing. My approach is tailored to each individual, generally drawing from a basis of holistic, trauma informed, evidence-based therapies. I am empathetic and direct, while helping clients find healing and new ways of coping.

Welcome! I specialize in all things related to relationships (dating, marriage, friends, roommates, parenting), anxiety, and self-esteem. Many of us were never taught how to deal with difficult experiences and emotions that arise over the course of our lives, or how to "be" in relationships (with ourselves or others). I see my role as one of walking alongside you, coaching you, teaching skills, providing resources & research, helping you process experiences, and aiding you in figuring out what direction you need to take. I ultimately aim to help you find your own inner strength and develop a personal power and sense of resiliency.

By talking out your problems, learning new coping tools, and developing a deeper awareness of your needs, you will be more equipped to manage difficult days. In time, you will experience a deeper connection with yourself and with others.The benefits of therapy are life changing.I can help get you there.

As a play therapist, not only am I passionate about working with children and teens, but also adults who would like to explore their inner child to bring creativity, joy, and playfulness back into their lives. I often use art, storytelling, metaphor, or visual aids when appropriate to facilitate growth and learning key coping skills. I have helped many clients grow and move through the lingering effects and pains of trauma or life transitions, whether recent or long buried. I can help in facilitating growth and healing after difficult and often excruciating experiences, while progressing at your pace and comfort level.

Brooke sees her role as a mirror for her clients, reflecting the patterns she observes to guide them towards discovering their inner-voice and wisdom. She believes that by exploring personal development and examining our interactions within relationships, we can unravel the narratives that hinder our relationships, or self-love. Through engaging in therapeutic dialogue and collaboration, Brooke aims to support the client through a treatment plan that is specific to the client because therapy is not a one size fits all experience.

Are you a woman that has recently experienced loss and heartache, and is struggling to pick up the pieces of your heart and your life? Do you feel like you are "called" to more; however, feel like you are "stuck" or in a transition where you are unclear about your identity, purpose, and path? You are here because you are want something real and deep; you want passion and you are refusing to settle for the ordinary. Perhaps you have been shamed into thinking something is wrong with you. Your heart has been longing for healing and transformation that brings you closer to your full, authentic, and integrated self.

I have a genuine and enduring love for people. I understand that seeking therapy may sometimes feel intimidating, but I endeavor to create a safe, supportive space for people to explore opportunities for growth and change in their lives. I believe in helping people to find their voice, while empowering them to see the strengths that they already have inside.

Meeting someone new maybe anxiety provoking, but starting therapy? That is truly a daunting task! You’ve made the first step by recognizing that maybe you should talk to someone. Now, all of these bios sound about the same. Which one to pick? How do you know which one will help you the most? You may be thinking, “oh, forget it, I just can’t make that decision right now.” Or, “I don’t want to sit for an hour and cry while I tell a total stranger my life’s story.” Or, “what if someone finds out that I’m not perfect. What if this person thinks I’m crazy and wants to lock me away forever?“ …

Life can be hard and unfair from time to time. My desire is to provide the skills, clarity and a sense of control when life is turned upside down. Counseling is not just a job for me but, a passion. I enjoy helping those who are ready to move forward but may not know how or feel like they are unable. Each person is different, and I enjoy the challenge of working through what seems like impossible hurdles to clients at the time. After the hard work of investing in oneself, clients often enjoy feelings of accomplishment and satisfaction when their lives change for the better as they overcome those hurdles.

My mission is to provide caring, compassionate care within a non-judgmental environment. Successful therapy results less from what you say than the relationship that is developed between clients and their therapists.

As a recovering perfectionist and people pleaser, I often work with women who struggle with the same things. These tendencies can be so helpful in life, but they can also get in the way of how you truly want to live your life. The clients I see often have difficulty with boundaries, experience a lot of self-doubt and uncertainty, and feel disconnected from their true authentic selves. Rather than giving my clients answers, I help guide them to discover the truth and courage that lies within them, but is often covered up by their own adaptations to life and trauma.
