Hi there, I'm Nicole!

I work with children, adolescents, and adults who are navigating addiction, anxiety, depression, and trauma. My approach is tailored to your unique needs and the healing you're seeking, drawing from therapies that support meaningful change.

My focus

I work well with children ages 8-11, adolescents, and adults facing challenges including trauma, addiction, anxiety, and depression.

My approach

I adapt my approach to what works best for you. I frequently use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Solution-Focused Therapy, and Motivational Interviewing to understand where you're coming from and support your healing process.

My communication style

My style is calm, personable, and compassionate. I want you to feel safe and comfortable sharing anything without fear of judgment.

My journey to mental healthcare

My interest in becoming a therapist began during my own recovery from addiction. I found myself wanting to help others, listening when nobody else would. What drives me most is seeing what a person may not see in themselves at first, then helping them discover it.

My goals for you

I work with you to discover what you want to accomplish through therapy. We'll start by building rapport and trust, then develop goals that are specific, measurable, achievable, relevant, and time-based to you.

Our first session

In our first session, I'll ask how you've been feeling recently and explore why you've been feeling this way. This session is about building rapport, trust, and a therapeutic connection. I listen to you instead of presuming what's best for you.
