Hi there! My name is Brooke, so nice to meet you! My experience in working with individuals who have experienced trauma has sculpted my own warm, non-judgmental, validating, and connected approach. My sessions offer a space to be heard, connect, exchange ideas, shed tears, share laughter, and reflect on successes. I'm always so appreciative of people's vulnerability and strength and find this to be the most beautiful parts of my work.

Feeling overwhelmed, sad, or constantly anxious can really weigh you down, making it tough to enjoy life or even get through the day sometimes. If you've been battling these feelings, you're not alone. Many people, especially men, find it hard to reach out for help due to societal pressures to "tough it out." But acknowledging that you're struggling is a brave first step towards feeling better. Whether it's stress from work, relationship issues, or past trauma that just won't let you be, therapy can offer the support you need to navigate through these tough times.

You've heard that parenthood is supposed to be a natural transition, but it doesn't feel that way. You have thoughts about how a good parent wouldn't feel sad or angry like this. You're going through the motions, but you're overwhelmed and overstimulated. You're managing, but it's not joyful like others said - it’s hard. You love your baby, but you miss how easy things were before. It’s confusing. You wonder when it gets easier. You deserve relief. You want to figure out what you need. You want to feel happy. You're ready to find your sense of self again, to find ease and help parenthood feel good for you. I can help you get there.

My approach to counselling is informed by my own journey through anxiety, childhood trauma, and chronic pain. After years of debilitating pain, I became educated about how trauma becomes stored in the body, contributing to illness and psychological distress. A variety of emotional, cognitive, and somatic exercises focused at regulating the nervous system, rewiring the brain, and stopping physical symptoms allowed me to find freedom from chronic pain. I now dedicate my career to supporting and empowering clients on their individual paths to healing.

Sometimes, the things that have happened in our past can affect our daily lives significantly. Trauma can make people feel as if their past defines who they are and that it will always have a grip on them. Although traumatic events can cause lasting effects, there are ways to regain control over your life if you have experienced trauma or developed PTSD. As an EMDR clinician, I use an evidence-based approach to help you become 'unstuck'. Seeking trauma therapy requires immense courage. I understand how difficult it can be to discuss trauma, which is why I provide a calm, non-judgemental space for you to begin the healing process.

Productive psychotherapy occurs within the context of a positive therapeutic relationship between the therapist and client, so often times the first one or two sessions are focused on a consultation to review the client’s concerns and for us to see if we are a good fit to work together. During this time, I will make recommendations for a treatment plan and will ask for the client’s feedback.

Lets face it, the path to becoming a new parent can be stressful, unfamiliar, and scary. There's very little that can prepare you for the real-life challenges of postpartum and the profound transformation of one's identity. I've experienced those solitary nights, overwhelming days, racing thoughts, and the sensation of no longer recognizing who I am or the life I lead. I've been through it all. I am here to help mama's and mama's to be through the ups and downs of infertility, pregnancy, pregnancy loss, birth trauma and all things post partum.

It’s more than fear of the white coat, the hospital room, or certain procedures. The anxiety, flashbacks, and fear of the unknown are overwhelming and exhausting. When you talk to your doctor or therapist for help, you leave feeling more confused and dismissed. What you’re experiencing is very real. In 2003 my spinal cord was punctured during an epidural procedure, leading to chronic pain. Several years later I suffered from strokes - some small, one big. When the ambulance came, they were convinced I was drunk. Except there was one big problem with their theory: I don't drink. I know what it’s like to be misunderstood.
