Many of my clients come to me struggling with relationship challenges (like communication struggles, Parenting conflicts and infidelity), trauma, PTSD, anxiety, or depression—feeling stuck, disconnected, or unsure how to move forward. My goal is to help you feel supported, understood, and equipped to create the changes you want in your life

I'm Brooke- a Michigan-based therapist with 26 years of experience and a deep belief that people are more resilient than they given themselves credit for. I work entirely online, which means you can access quality mental health care from wherever you are in Michigan. I've worked with hundreds of individuals across the lifespan- from teens navigating pressure to seniors managing life transitions - and what I've learned is that most people don't need to be "fixed". They need someone who actually listens, helps them see patterns they've been too close to notice, and walks alongside them as they build the life they want. I accept BCBS, Aetna, Cigna, Priority Health, Carelon, Ascension, and Medicare Advantage- so insurance is rarely a barrier.

Clients should know that I bring warmth, empathy, and a genuine commitment to their growth. I create a safe and supportive environment where their voices are valued, and their goals are prioritized. With encouragement and guidance, I help clients navigate challenges and celebrate meaningful progress along their journey.

I love working with adults and seniors to help them find or reimagine their passion in life. I will work to help you remove blocks that are keeping you from being your most awesome self and help you develop the skills needed to live a life you have always dreamed.

I provide counseling for individuals and families who are facing many forms of conflict including addiction, anxiety, depression, grief and significant life transitions. I understand that seeking support often comes at a time when life feels overwhelming or uncertain, and my priority is to offer a compassionate, steady place to work through these challenges. Together we take the time you need to explore what brought you here and what you're hoping to change. Your goals - whether they involve healing from loss, breaking patterns related to addiction, or navigating a difficult transition - will guide the direction of our sessions.
