Therapy for Women Who Carry a Lot.
Therapy in Santa Rosa, CA and Across California Online
You’re the one everyone depends on.
There's always something that needs your attention. Someone who needs your time. And you show up for it, because that's what you do. You're good at it.
But somewhere in all that showing up, the question of what you actually need keeps getting pushed to tomorrow.
A lot of the women I work with describe this feeling of running really well on the outside while something quieter is going on underneath. Sometimes it shows up as anxiety that won't quit. Sometimes it's a life that's shifting in ways you didn't plan for. Sometimes it's just the weight of holding everything together for so long. Hard to name and easy to ignore when there's so much else to take care of.
And yet, here you are.
I'm Brooke, a licensed therapist in Santa Rosa, CA. I work with women who are capable, self-aware, and completely worn out. We figure out together what's actually going on, and we don't take ourselves too seriously while we do it.
Hi, I’m Brooke, a Licensed Therapist in Santa Rosa, CA
I became a therapist because I know how easy it is to lose your own voice while taking care of everyone else.
As a mom and a recovering people pleaser, I’ve lived that tension of showing up for others while ignoring my own needs. That experience shapes how I sit with people now.
I work with women who are used to being capable, reliable, and the one others turn to.
A lot of the people I work with are thoughtful and self-aware. They understand what is happening on some level, but still find themselves in the same patterns or feeling overwhelmed in ways that do not fully make sense.
My style is engaged and straightforward. I pay attention, ask questions, and stay with what is actually happening, not just what is easy to talk about.
What to Expect Working With Me
This is a relationship, not a service. I show up as a real person and I expect you to as well. We figure out what's working, what isn't, and what you actually need, not what sounds good in theory.
Permission to slow down. Most of the women I work with haven't had a real chance to stop and feel what's happening. Not analyze it, not explain it, just feel it. We slow down enough in our sessions to do that. Things that felt foggy start to clarify. What's been stuck begins to move.
Paying attention to the whole picture Stress doesn't just live in your thoughts. It lives in how long it takes you to exhale when you finally sit down. In what tightens when your phone buzzes. We pay attention to all of it, not as a technique, just as information worth noticing.
Room for all of it There are parts of you that are tired, parts that are protective, parts that are still figuring out what they need. We work with all of them. Nothing gets pushed aside.
It takes time and it's worth it This isn't a quick fix. But over time the weight shifts. You start feeling more present in your own life, more like yourself, less like you're just managing.
