Practice information:

I’m Brooke (she/her), and am a registered clinical counsellor and registered social worker in Victoria BC. I have spent much of my life in the forests and waters of Vancouver Island and love to wander the trails and swim my heart out all year round. Gardening, cooking, reading, writing, and diving deep into the beautiful unfolding of the human experience keep me grounded and bring me joy.

Old Growth Therapy grew from my belief that all people are inherently capable of healing and growth, and that all people deserve a supportive space of belonging to realize their potential. I remain in awe of the healing power that a trusted relationship can provide and am honoured each time an individual chooses to develop one with me. I believe in the interconnectivity of all things and understand that a person and their issue must be respected in the context of their surroundings inclusive of internal, family, social, and physical environments. 

I am passionate about working with others to reclaim their life, to gently heal the root causes of suffering, and to achieve a more conscious self-understanding. I feel it is important to support others in developing a relationship with oneself that rooted in compassion and aligned with your truth. My education includes a Master of Arts in Counselling Psychology, a Bachelor of Social Work, and a Diploma in Women’s Studies. I have 7 years of experience and/or training in multidisciplinary settings with much of my practice and continuing education focused on supporting others to reclaim and rebuild their lives, often from the intersection of addiction, economic insecurity, trauma, and social marginalization.
