Hi there! I’m Brooke and am glad you have taken the step forward toward wellness. I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) and have a Master’s in Social Work from the University of Maryland, Baltimore. I have 11 years experience working as a social worker and mental health professional, and specialize in Internal Family Systems (IFS), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and Transpersonal Psychology (mindfulness as it relates to an individual’s spiritual journey), with a specific emphasis on grief and bereavement. I am a former Hospice social worker and have journeyed with many individuals as they navigate the complexities and nuances of grief. I also have worked extensively with individuals experiencing depression, anxiety, and thought disorders. As a white cis-gendered female I seek to support individuals of all gender and racial background. My approach is compassionate and client-centered, focusing on empowering individuals as they heal. I utilize a blend of ACT and IFS to create a holistic and personalized therapy experience. I believe that a strong therapeutic rapport is essential for healing and it is my hope that you feel safe and heard during each therapy session. That said, I welcome any feedback from you if are not feeling safe/supported so that we can adjust therapy approaches.
