More From Brooke…


“Hey! I’m Brooke, I am the owner of Gaining Grace and a licensed clinical social worker and licensed drug and alcohol counselor in the state of NJ. I grew up in New Jersey and experienced a troubled adolescence and early adulthood. By the age of 23 I had nothing to my name as a result and decided to try to rebuild my life. Somehow that decision landed me here -- I graduated college with a Masters degree in Social Work at the age of 28, worked in several substance abuse facilities, became dually licensed and now have a private practice specializing in addiction and mental illness. I am passionate about helping others put together some of the puzzle pieces of their own lives and helping them to find peace within themselves. When I am not working, I am a full time wife and mama who loves hiking mountains, sleeping in tents, hearing the waves crash on the ocean, listening to Taylor Swift and eating Chipotle.”
