Hi there, I'm Nick!

As a society, it feels like we're wired to always be on the run and multi-tasking. It's overwhelming and drives constant anxiety. Eventually, our bodies say ENOUGH and shut down to a depressive state to conserve energy. Then we introduce something to make us feel better, and our tendency to overuse and abuse.

My focus

I've worked extensively with people who are coming out of substance abuse treatment and applying skills learned in treatment to life on the outside. I've worked extensively as well with clients who realize that they aren't living their best life and want to catapult their self-esteem and self-worth.

My approach

I have been practicing polyvagal theory and its interventions to address anxiety and depression, as well as bipolar disorder. It's been a critical touchstone in helping clients to conceptualize a healthier way of functioning. I'll help you to understand the window of tolerance and to start paying attention to your dysregulated states.
