Hello! My name is Brooke and I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker based in California. I am a strengths-based, client centered, and solutions focused therapist. I strive to create an environment that you feel supported, safe, and free of judgment. I work with individuals and couples of all ages who are experiencing anxiety, depression, peer/interpersonal relationship conflicts, bullying, life transitions, low self-esteem, burnout, insomnia, anger, panic attacks, and stress management. My approach is to integrate evidence-based practice and theory while honoring your individual needs and meeting you where you are at. My goal is to provide you with the tools to enhance your quality of life and feel more confident with navigating life's presenting challenges. My promise as a therapist is to be with you every step of the way. I look forward to meeting you!

What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?

In our first session together, we'll start with introductions, rapport building, and establishing treatment goals. The first session is a 'get to know each other' meeting where we may engage in friendly ice-breakers and discuss the reasons for seeking therapy. This will help me create a tailored treatment plan that is conducive with treatment goals and individual to you.

Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.

I am deeply committed to our work together and I want to celebrate your wins with you, no matter how big or small. Clients can count on me being dedicated in helping them accomplish their treatment goals and being innovative while using evidence-based practice in finding the best solutions for them.
