Therapy for Women Who Carry a Lot.
Therapy in Santa Rosa, CA and Across California Online
You’re the one everyone depends on.
Something is always asking for your attention. A relationship you're worried about. Whether you're good enough, whether you're showing up right. A situation that got hard and you reacted in a way you didn't want to, again.
Underneath it, a lot of the women I work with are carrying the same thing: buried under the emotional labor of life, or holding onto old expectations that stopped fitting a while ago. Sometimes that shows up as a new mom drowning in overwhelm. Sometimes it's perimenopause or menopause, shedding a skin whether you asked to or not. Sometimes it's just getting to a point in life where you're ready to figure out who you actually are, separate from who you've been for everyone else.
If some of that is landing, you're in the right place.
I'm Brooke, a licensed therapist in Santa Rosa, CA. I work with women who are capable and worn out, ready to respond to their life differently than they have been.
Hi, I’m Brooke, a Licensed Therapist in Santa Rosa, CA
I am a therapist because this work is sacred to me. I get to witness someone reconnecting to who they are, sometimes healing the part of them that's been needing that connection since they were a kid.
I'm grounded and collaborative. Before anything else, we build the relationship between us, that's what makes room for everything else: understanding your nervous system, feeling what you feel instead of managing it, finding new ways to respond when something triggers you.
This space is yours, whenever you're ready for it.
What to Expect Working With Me
I show up as myself because I believe the relationship between us is part of the healing. I'm not a blank slate and I don't try to be. I have a presence, a perspective, and a sense of humor, and I bring all of it into the room with you. Sessions are about you and your life, and who I am just shapes how we find our way through it together.
For a lot of women, this is the first time they've had real space to feel what's happening rather than think their way through it. That can feel unfamiliar at first. We go at a pace that feels manageable, and I bring in psychoeducation along the way, helping you understand why your system reacts the way it does.
Therapy is only 50 minutes a week, so the real work happens in between sessions. Not worksheets, just paying attention: what a feeling actually feels like in your body, how to be with distress instead of running from it, building your own internal resourcing you can draw on outside our time together.
Healing isn't linear. Sometimes it shows up in small moments, drinking your morning tea without your mind already somewhere else, catching a trigger before it takes over, a conversation that used to wreck your whole day not landing the same way anymore.

Healing Professionals
Supporting the Helpers
Helping others is sacred work and it's hard. You spend your days present with people, holding their stories, their pain, and their joy. That accumulates in ways that are hard to name and harder to shake. Come in and let someone hold that for you for a while.

Anxiety Therapy
Moving Through the Loop
Anxiety often feels like being stuck in a constant cycle of racing thoughts and physical tension. We get curious about that loop together. We work to loosen its grip so you can feel more grounded and present in your daily life.

Navigating Big Life Changes
When the Life You're Living Stops Fitting
Something has shifted and the life you're living doesn't quite fit the person you're becoming. A lot of transition work is grief before it's anything else, grieving what you're leaving even when you chose to leave it. We make space for that and slowly start figuring out who you are on the other side.

Teen and Young Adult Therapy
Growing Into Yourself
So much changes at once, school, friendships, family, the constant comparison that comes with it, and none of it comes with a clear sense of what you're supposed to do with it. You might be sorting through something for the first time, or noticing a pattern at home you never had words for before. I meet you where you're at and help you make sense of it as you go.
I also work with parents trying to figure out how to support a teen through all of it.
