Brooke provides outpatient psychiatric care across the lifespan and works with individuals experiencing a wide range of mental health concerns, including mood disorders, anxiety disorders, trauma-related conditions, and attention difficulties. She has experience in outpatient, community, and emergency psychiatric settings, which allows her to support clients with both ongoing mental health needs and periods of acute distress. Her approach is collaborative, trauma- informed, and rooted in building strong therapeutic relationships. Brooke prioritizes patient education and works closely with clients to develop treatment plans that feel supportive, empowering, and aligned with their goals.

Before becoming a nurse practitioner, Brooke worked in emergency psychiatric services and community-based behavioral health programs, including intensive outpatient care. These experiences shaped her passion for meeting patients where they are and helping them feel safe, understood, and respected throughout their care.

Brooke was drawn to psychiatric mental health through her background in psychology, advocacy, and her desire to reduce stigma and increase access to compassionate care. Outside of work, she enjoys spending time with those close to her, exploring new restaurants and coffee shops around Nashville, and traveling. She is deeply committed to helping individuals feel supported as they navigate their mental health journey.
