About Brookes:

Helping others, whether through understanding, a listening ear, or simply being present in their moment of need, has been a guiding value throughout my life. My core values of empathy, compassion, and integrity guide both my personal and professional life. Therapy to me is about meeting each individual where they are, recognizing their unique strengths, and empowering them with the tools and support they need to overcome challenges and create meaningful change. I believe that even the smallest interactions can have a lasting impact, and I approach every client with the mindset that their strengths can be the foundation for their growth. My goal is to create a safe, supportive space where individuals of all ages feel heard, understood, and valued.

Education:

My journey began by getting a Bachelor’s of Social Work (BSW) from the University of Nevada, Las Vegas in 2021, followed by my Master of Social Work (MSW) from the University of Nevada, Reno in 2024. My academic journey provided me with a strong foundation in social work values, theory, and practice, while also allowing me to gain hands-on experience in community, hospital, and advocacy settings. Building on this foundation, I continue to grow as a clinician by integrating evidence based approaches with compassion and empathy, ensuring that each client feels supported, understood, and empowered in their unique journey.

Experience:

With a passion for supporting individuals across all stages of life, I bring a background that blends both clinical training and practical experience in the mental health field. I have worked with children, teens, and adults navigating challenges such as grief, trauma, anxiety, depression, and life transitions. My experience includes providing crisis intervention, emotional support, and resources for individuals in moments of vulnerability, as well as facilitating groups and one on one sessions that foster healing and growth.

I am dedicated to creating a safe and supportive environment where clients feel empowered to explore their strengths, build coping skills, and move forward with resilience.

My approach is collaborative, compassionate, and grounded in the belief that every person has the capacity for growth and change when given the right tools and support.
