Hi there, I'm Brooks!

When your mind feels loud, repetitive, or hard to trust, it can make even everyday moments feel exhausting. I help people who are dealing with anxiety, OCD, and intrusive thoughts learn how to step out of the struggle with their mind and into a different way of responding.

My focus

Struggling with overwhelming thoughts, self-doubt, or past hurt? I help individuals change their relationship with their thoughts, build self-compassion, and work through painful experiences so they have less impact. Together, we’ll help you feel more grounded and able to move forward in ways that matter to you.

My approach

I take a practical, collaborative approach to therapy, grounded in evidence-based methods such as ACT. Rather than trying to eliminate difficult thoughts or feelings, we’ll work on changing how you relate to them—so they have less control over your actions and your life. You can learn a new relationship with your thoughts and feelings.
