About
Brooke holds a Master of Science degree in Psychiatric-Mental Health Nursing, with a specialization in Advanced Practice Holistic Nursing, from New York University. She completed her clinical training in Psychiatry with children, adolescents, and adults at NYU Langone Medical Center, NYU Child Study Center, NYU Student Health Center, and in private practice. Prior to her graduate training, she worked as a Psychiatric Registered Nurse specializing in Community Mental Health in underserved communities in New York City, and later focused on Behavioral Health Palliative Care, working with adults and older adults navigating dementia, complex medical co-morbidities, and the end-of-life process.
Brooke's diverse experience informs her practice philosophy. She believes that honoring each individual's unique lived experience nurtures our innate capacity for optimal wellness of body, mind, and spirit. Her approach is relational and collaborative; she seeks to partner with clients to develop a treatment plan that comprehensively addresses both short and long-term needs and goals, based upon an understanding of their history, emotional framework, environment, lifestyle, and physical health. She has a particular interest in Functional Medicine approaches in Psychiatry, Psychoneuroimmunology, and Environmental Medicine.
