Hello, my name is Brooke. I’m a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker (LICSW) and the owner of Empowerment Counseling, where the focus is helping you tap into your strengths and move forward with confidence. With nearly 20 years of experience supporting individuals through life’s challenges, I’ve created a space that feels welcoming, safe, and collaborative. My approach is compassionate, practical, and grounded. In our work together, you can expect real conversation, support without judgment, and tools that fit your life and goals. Whether you are working through trauma, adjusting to a major life change, managing stress, or seeking a greater sense of peace and balance, therapy with me centers on empowerment, emotional clarity, and meaningful growth. Together, we focus on healing, resilience, and the version of you that feels whole and steady. In addition to individual therapy, I also offer small therapeutic groups throughout the year focused on anger management, faith and mental health, and support for women navigating stress and burnout. I provide a limited number of specialized mental health evaluations, including DOT SAP evaluations, bariatric surgery psychological evaluations, emotional support animal assessments, and fitness for duty evaluations for individuals who need structured assessments and professional documentation without ongoing therapy. My goal is to offer support in ways that meet people where they are, whether through individual sessions, group connection, or focused evaluations designed to provide clarity and direction.
