About Gem

Living with anxiety, depression, chronic pain/illness, or constant pressure to hold everything together can feel overwhelming. Maybe you're juggling work, being a new mother, and navigating relationships while trying to manage your own needs. Or perhaps you're moving through a major life transition, health diagnosis, or the slow burnout of always putting yourself last. These experiences can leave you feeling disconnected from your body, unsure of your worth, and longing for a peace that you can't quite reach.

Using a trauma-informed and compassionate lens, I take a collaborative approach to therapy—one that honors your full story and the many roles you hold. We'll explore the connection between your mind, body, and emotions, making space for curiosity, self-compassion, and healing. You are the expert on your life; my role is to help you slow down, make sense of what's happening, and reconnect with your strength and sense of self. Together, we will work towards reducing the emotional burden of stress and draw near to what brings you peace, purpose, and connection.

By the time we're done working together, my hope is that you'll feel more grounded and empowered—able to set boundaries with confidence, soothe your nervous system, and move through life with greater ease. Most importantly, you'll rediscover a sense of balance and wholeness that feels true to who you are, not who you think you "should" be, while creating a space for clarity, healing, and meaningful change—at your pace and on your terms.

PERSONAL PHILOSOPHY

More Than Just My Work

"I've seen the incredible resilience people carry, even in their most difficult moments. It's an honor to walk alongside people as they face fears, rewrite old narratives, and step into a more authentic, fulfilling life."

I believe rest is our birthright — a sacred space to lean into a life intentionally filled with ease, gratitude, and connection. It feeds the soul, renews our spirit, and strengthens the faith that carries us through life's challenges.

When I am not working you can likely find me listening to a podcast while on a walk or spending time with loved ones. I will also never say no to a romantic comedy or true crime documentary!

Customer testimonials

From the very beginning, I felt heard, validated, and never judged.
Brooke helped me work through postpartum anxiety and other challenges in a way that felt manageable and empowering. Sessions gave me practical tools, clarity, and—most importantly—confidence in myself again.

-L.E.

I would highly recommend any of the wonderful staff to anyone for someone to share their experiences with. The offices are beautiful, comfortable and soothing a real place of zen.

-L.B.

Nurture and Be was extremely professional, responsive, and great to work with. They worked with me to get me scheduled quickly at a time that was best, and provided unmatched customer service. Highly recommend!

-J.W.

Her knowledge and ability to counsel those going through the rollercoaster we call life is phenomenal. She’s a young business professional, wife, and mother so it’s easy to relate on a personal level to many. If you are looking for an amazing therapist, look no further, you found her.

-S.T.

I’m incredibly grateful for the support I received during my postpartum period and therefore after. Brooke helped me navigate one of the most overwhelming and vulnerable seasons of my life with compassion, patience, and genuine care.
