When we’re highly sensitive and/or neurodivergent (HSP, ADHD, autistic,), we process the world differently. What seems “easy” to one person can feel overwhelming, complex, or exhausting to someone with a more responsive nervous system.
This can make life feel tricky. Many people end up compensating by masking who they are or pushing past their limits, which eventually leads to exhaustion and burnout.
Learning to honor our differences and embrace the gifts that come with them is often the work of a lifetime. I love supporting people on this journey.
Many of the people who find their way here have spent years feeling like something about them was “too much.”
Too emotional.
Too sensitive.
Too intense.
Too thoughtful.
But often what’s really happening is that you have a richly attuned inner world, and you’ve never been given the right support to be able to flourish.
Therapy here is not about flattening your sensitivity.
It’s about helping you understand it, support it, and ultimately reclaim it as a source of strength.
Your sensitivity is a gift. Let's help it feel like one.
LEARN MORE
My work is grounded in the belief that lasting change happens when we go beyond managing symptoms and begin working with the deeper layers of experience that shape how we relate to ourselves and the world.
Together we may explore:
• the roots of anxiety, overwhelm, and emotional intensity
• relational patterns
• nervous system regulation and chronic stress responses
• identity, purpose, and life transitions
• the experience of being highly sensitive or neurodivergent in a world that often misunderstands us
Our work integrates trauma-informed therapy, relational and experiential approaches so that transformation happens not just intellectually, but emotionally, somatically, and relationally.
For some clients, this work may also include ketamine-assisted psychotherapy (KAP) as a powerful catalyst for healing and insight.
Meet Brooke
Brooke is a trauma-informed therapist and the founder of the Therapeutic Center for Highly Sensitive People. For over 15 years, she has helped highly sensitive and neurodivergent people move beyond self-doubt and overwhelm and into a more grounded and empowered relationship with themselves.
Brooke supports people in healing the deeper roots of their struggles rather than simply managing symptoms. Her work integrates relational and experiential approaches that help clients reconnect with their inner wisdom and capacity for change.
In recent years, her practice has expanded to include ketamine-assisted psychotherapy (KAP), offering additional pathways for healing and transformation when traditional therapy alone hasn’t been enough.
Brooke is also the founder of Intuitive Warrior, a coaching and educational space devoted to helping sensitive, creative, and intuitive people live from a deeper sense of alignment and authenticity.

I offer virtual therapy to residents of Colorado and California and coaching worldwide.
Many of my clients have spent their lives feeling like they experience the world differently than most.
They think and feel deeply.
They notice subtleties that others miss.
And they often carry both immense empathy and responsibility.
Therapy here is a place where that depth is not something to be fixed; it’s something to be understood, supported, and ultimately integrated into a life that feels authentic and alive.
