Brooke Sanders is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist who specializes in supporting women in the perinatal period as well as teens and young adult women navigating anxiety, emotional overwhelm, identity shifts, and relationship stress. She works with individuals who want to feel more self-assured, grounded, and confident in their ability to make choices that genuinely fit who they are rather than choices driven by fear, pressure, or expectations.
Brooke takes a whole-person, integrative approach, blending attachment-based work, mindfulness, and the Satir Growth Model. Her style is collaborative, intuitive, and supportive. She helps clients strengthen emotional regulation, distinguish anxiety from intuition, and build trust in their inner voice. Her work often focuses on developing resilience, cultivating self-compassion, and expanding a sense of agency in day-to-day life.
Brooke is especially passionate about supporting mothers experiencing Perinatal Mood and Anxiety Disorders (PMAD) and those adjusting to the profound changes that accompany pregnancy, birth, and early parenthood. She creates a grounded, nonjudgmental space where clients can explore their fears, name their needs, and ask for help without shame.
Across her work with teens and young women, Brooke supports clients in becoming more steady on their feet, learning to pause before committing, make intentional choices, and step into relationships and opportunities with clarity and confidence.
Brooke offers in-office sessions, virtual therapy, and Walk and Talk sessions, holding space for exploration and healing wherever clients feel most comfortable.
Whether you are navigating a challenging transition or seeking deeper personal growth, Brooke is committed to helping you move forward with greater alignment, trust, and emotional steadiness.
