About Brooke

Brooke is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, known as an LCSW, with 12 years of practice. She brings a trauma-informed lens and pays close attention to physical sensations that come with memories and strong feelings.

She also uses approaches that look at attachment and personal meaning to help people build stronger relationships with themselves and others. When grief, loss, or chronic stress are present, she offers steady support and clear tools for coping. People who struggle with sleep, mood shifts, addictions, or identity questions may find these methods helpful for day-to-day coping and longer-term change.

Online support

How her approaches work online

Brooke commonly uses Attachment-Based Therapy to look at how early relationships shape current patterns, helping people understand why they react a certain way in close connections and offering ways to experiment with new responses. She also draws on Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, which combines focused attention on upsetting memories with guided processing to reduce distress tied to trauma.

Brooke treats finding the right approach as a team effort. She will talk with each person about their goals, try different techniques when needed, and adjust the plan based on what actually helps. The process is collaborative and paced to match the client's needs and comfort level.

Online therapy lets people work with these methods from wherever they are in Oregon using video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video calls are useful for full sessions and visual connection, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited, live chat is helpful for brief check-ins, and text messaging supports ongoing reflection between meetings. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life and to continue work between sessions.
