    Brooke believes that the therapeutic relationship is the most important aspect of therapy, and so her objective is always to provide a space where folks feel safe and heard and like they can be their authentic selves within a session. Brooke uses a warm, validating approach balanced with a directness that is clear and affirming. Brooke is person-centered and believes that clients should be co-creators in their own paths to healing.

    Brooke is passionate about working with individuals with disordered eating, anxiety, and negative body image, with which she utilizes an anti-diet approach.

Brooke also has worked for several non-profits in both New York City and New Haven and has provided direct care and clinical supervision over the years with a focus on working with individuals and families experiencing homelessness.
