Meet The Team

My earliest memories included noticing suffering, pondering heaven, and recognizing injustice. I thought every child fell asleep at night wondering what was beyond the physical realm. As soon as I could write, you would find me sending letters of encouragement to someone who was sick or grieving. One might say, I was called to social work.

​

I have lived the majority of my life in the Pacific Northwest; however, I was blessed to experience black-eyed peas, fried chicken, torrential downpours, and the fireflies of the deep south.

It was my time in South Carolina that grew my awareness of injustice recognizing the spirit of slavery was very much still alive. Just a middle schooler without the wisdom, knowledge, or power to make a change, I used what I had to address the condition. With a couple of dozen eggs, I targeted the homes in my neighborhood that harbored people who were racist (my skills are much more refined now and full of love).

It is from these experiences that I vowed to use the ways I hold power to blaze a way for those who hold less power.

Brooke was born and raised in the Pacific Northwest and has had the opportunity to live and travel internationally, including spending three years in Japan. Experiencing diverse cultures and communities has shaped her understanding of resilience, family relationships, and the many ways people navigate life's challenges.

Growing up, Brooke learned the importance of ethics, courage, and advocacy from her father, whose willingness to stand up for others helped shape her lifelong commitment to justice and service. Those early lessons continue to guide both her personal and professional life.

Brooke holds degrees in Criminal Justice and Social Work. She works with children, caregivers, and families through the Intensive Home and Community Based Services (IHCBS) program at Raising Resilience Holistic Mental Wellness. She is passionate about helping families strengthen connection, build emotional regulation skills, and create environments where children feel safe, supported, and understood.

Her professional interests include domestic violence, trauma, attachment, and high-conflict divorce. Brooke has spent years studying how conflict, adversity, and family stress impact children and is committed to helping families navigate these challenges with compassion, education, and practical support.

In addition to providing direct services, Brooke serves as Office Manager for Raising Resilience, supporting agency operations, staff training, and client services. Her background in Criminal Justice and Social Work, combined with her commitment to ethics and advocacy, allows her to approach her work with integrity, accountability, and a deep respect for the experiences of the families she serves.

Brooke believes that healing happens through safe relationships, clear communication, and a strengths-based approach that recognizes the resilience within every child and family.
