Hello! My name is Brooke. Are you struggling with your child’s behavior at home or school? Feeling depressed, anxious, or simply lost in life? Have you recently experienced any big changes? Has a traumatic experience occurred in you or your child’s life and you don’t know how to go back to normalcy? Do you think you may be in a abusive or narcissistic relationship? Do you have a child with an intellectual disability that is struggling with emotional/behavioral issues? If any of these scenarios connected with you, I would love to help you not only gain the skills you need to heal and cope through your journey, but to also flourish!

Mental health maintenance is essential to overall well-being. Whether you're struggling with feelings of hopelessness, excessive worry, or adjusting to loss, from time to time we all need to address the challenges life throws at us. Sometimes, we can cope with those challenges in ways that have worked in the past without any problems. There is power in each person to overcome most things. I can help you find your way through those challenges.

Life these days can be hard overwhelming with its everyday stressors and anxiety. Do you struggle with pain from the past and are having a hard time moving forward into the future? Do you have children who are struggling with ADHD/ADD and ODD? Do you need someone to help you sort the spinning thoughts in your mind? Do you struggle with current relationships due to trauma from the past? Do you feel like you are going crazy at times and people just don't understand you? If so, I may be a good fit for you! I work with anyone starting ages 5 and up.

As someone who has directly dealt with personal trauma, depression, and anxiety in the past; I understand how hard it is to take the first step into therapy and beginning the walk to heal. My goal is to make the first step into this journey for you safe and comfortable. I approach my clients with empathy, sincerity and evidence based treatments that have proven to be beneficial. I have spent the majority of my life dedicating my time to helping others in a medical and therapeutic capacity.

Healing is hard. It takes time and has its ups and downs; healing is not linear. I am here to be with you through all of those times and help guide you through change. I specialize in young adults and adolescents. I enjoy helping my clients untangle their thoughts and recognize intense emotions. Transitions aren't easy at any age, and I'm here to help with that!

I am deeply committed to guiding individuals through the process of healing and reclaiming their lives. Many of my clients experience depression, anxiety, dissociation, and difficulties with emotional regulation. My journey into the field of therapy began with a profound fascination for the resilience of the human spirit and a genuine desire to make a positive impact on the lives of those who have experienced difficult life events. It is my hope that together, we can build a foundation for healing, growth, and a renewed sense of hope.

Are you struggling to embrace why you were created? Are you needing to be empowered to experience freedom from addiction, pain, abuse, and trauma? My experience has primarily centered around males, from childhood up through adulthood, who have dealt with depression and anxiety, traumatic relationships, crisis interventions, and various forms of addiction.

I have experience helping children, adolescents, and adults with issues including depression, anxiety, adjustment and marriage/relationship issues. I am well versed in CBT (Cognitive Behavioral Therapy). Whether you are struggling with pressures of life or marriage issues my I believe that there is hope if all involved parties are willing to work on related issues and are engaged. I have the benefit of being both a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist and an ordained minister, both in the state of Indiana. My caring and compassionate spirit helps me see each client in a similar and relational manner.

As the parent of a struggling tween, teen, or young adult do you sometimes wonder what you can do to help them feel better? I have a passion for working with pre-teens, teens, young adults, and their families struggling with a wide variety of issues. My areas of expertise are anxiety, depression, self-esteem, identity issues, and relationships.

We all need to explore our fears, insecurities and those places in your life of which you are not proud. My wish is to provide a safe place to allow my clients to explore those vulnerable places and allow healing. I chose to be a therapist to help clients understand that they are valued, and they can accept themselves, flaws and all. Our collaborative efforts will establish a strong therapeutic relationship focusing on goals to create healing. I am transparent in the active healing research-based approach we will use in sessions. I want to empower clients to increase coping skills as well as engage in healthy relationships.

We are a group of therapists with years of experience walking with people through the difficulties of life. Our wide ranging specialties and training provide our patients a unique group of professionals to assist you. It is an honor to meet people where they are and start the healing journey together.

I work best with clients who are open to reflection and exploration, both inside and outside of therapy. I encourage clients to integrate change into their own personal life based off our work in-session. I have experience with topics including but not limited to processing trauma, learning to cope with anxiety or depression, identifying and adjusting negative interpersonal patterns, and more. I am flexible and open to expanding my knowledge on my clients' presenting issues. Clients who are willing to go on a journey to make changes (even small changes) toward healing, would find support and encouragement in the space I provide.

Do you feel lonely in your marriage and wonder how you got here? Are the demands of raising a family wearing you out? Is your child developing behaviors that concern you? Do you feel crushed by shame and worthlessness? Do you feel like you are just going through the motions of life - existing but not really living? Are the worries of life gradually eating away at your ability to function? If you answered yes to any of these questions, then you have made the right choice by seeking professional help.

My approach to therapy is collaborative and transparent. I use the skills and experiences I've gained to help clients achieve their own goals. Instead of curing mental health I believe in helping people understand and manage their issues in sustainable ways. Since I use a lot of metaphors in therapy, the one I use to illustrate and describe my therapeutic process is likening it to a home improvement. My job is to help clients explore and find the right tools for their unique improvements and provide guidance so clients have support while making lasting changes they want in their life. The toolbox can then be used outside of therapy.

I look to create strong relationships with my clients in a safe, compassionate, and nonjudgmental environment. I hope to provide support and strategies for any challenges that you may be facing and work with you to facilitate growth, healing, and change. My professional and personal background is in music and working with children and adults with special needs, which has given me strong skills in differentiating care for each client regardless of their age or need.

(PLEASE NOTE: I have a long and slow-moving wait list) Hello! I have enjoyed working as a licensed clinical social worker and clinical addictions counselor for over 20 years. I have a wide range of skills that include, but are not limited to, improving coping skills, stress management, relationship enhancement and managing moods. In addition to these interests, my passion includes working with children, adolescents and their families.
