Hi there, I'm Nicole!

I love working with adults who want to make sense of their experiences, untangle old patterns, and feel more at home in their lives. I bring warmth, honesty, and humor to therapy, creating a safe, collaborative space where you can be fully seen and supported.

My focus

My ideal clients are adults who seem capable on the outside but feel stuck, anxious, or overwhelmed inside. They may face anxiety, depression, relationship stress, or past trauma, and often want relief from repetitive patterns, greater confidence, and support in navigating life’s challenges.

My approach

I take a warm, collaborative approach, blending CBT, DBT, EMDR, Person-Centered Therapy, and Motivational Interviewing. I tailor sessions to your needs, helping you build coping skills, process trauma, strengthen boundaries, and create meaningful change in a safe, supportive space.
