Hi, I’m Brooke
Asheville Therapist| EMDR Provider
Helping individuals reconnect to themselves, their intuition, and their strength.
How I help
My approach is trauma-informed and grounded in a deep understanding of the nervous system. A lot of the challenges people come to therapy for, such as anxiety, burnout, perfectionism, and relationship issues, are connected to how the body and mind learned to adapt to distress.
In therapy, we pay attention to what’s happening in the present moment beneath the surface. That includes the patterns and parts of you that developed to protect you, such as overthinking, shutting down, people-pleasing, hyper-independence, or perfectionism.
Rather than trying to get rid of those parts, we work to understand them. This can help you feel less trapped in cycles and better able to move through your day without feeling like you’re in survival mode.
My work integrates EMDR, parts work (IFS), somatic and polyvagal-informed approaches, and DBT-based skills. I also offer sound baths and energy-based practices such as Reiki for interested clients.
“What would happen if one woman told the truth about her life? The world would split open.”
Who I Work With
High-achievers dealing with perfectionism or burnout
Survivors of sexual trauma
Late-identified neurodivergent individuals
Cycle breakers working to understand and shift generational patterns
People who’ve done talk therapy and want something deeper
Women navigating postpartum, motherhood, menopause, relationship and identity shifts, or career changes
So, what can you expect to gain from therapy?
My goal for you is to spark a wave of positive change in your life. For my clients, this looks like improving self-awareness and emotional regulation, releasing self-judgment, building trust in relationships, understanding and processing past trauma, setting boundaries, and finding happiness and self-acceptance. You’ll discover tools to manage stress, make grounded decisions, heal childhood traumas, and let go of the past.
Together, we will aim to address anxiety, self-criticism, and insecurity to achieve mental and emotional well-being. Ultimately, beginning a journey of self-discovery, growth, and the creation of a healthier, happier life.
More About Brooke:
I’ve always been drawn to understanding people—their emotions, their stories, and what helps them heal. That natural pull led me to study psychology and earn my Master’s degree in social work at the University of Wisconsin–Madison, where I trained in psychodynamic, interpersonal, and relational approaches to therapy.
Over the years, I’ve continued to grow my skills in body-based, trauma-informed care, blending evidence-based training with intuition and a deep respect for each person’s own wisdom. My intention is to create a space where women feel safe to slow down, explore who they are beneath all the expectations, and begin to build a life that feels authentic and meaningful.
I’m proud to offer therapy in-person in Asheville NC and online counseling throughout North Carolina and Arizona.
