Treatment Philosophy:
I became a physical therapist because I am passionate about helping people build confidence and return to the activities that bring them joy. I strive to create a welcoming environment where patients feel heard, supported, and involved in their care. One of my favorite parts of physical therapy is building relationships with patients and celebrating the milestones along the way.
Personal Notes:
Brooke was raised in Sioux Falls, South Dakota. She grew up with four older brothers and was very active in sports, including dance. Dance stole her heart leading to her completing four years at The Ohio State on the dance team, where she won 7 national championships in pom, jazz, and gameday. She moved to Omaha after completing her undergraduate program for physical therapy school. Throughout school, she continued choreographing and teaching dancers across Nebraska, the Midwest, and the nation. Her hobbies include biking, yoga, teaching dance, traveling, and spending time with her family.
