Helping others to live happy and fulfilled lives is something I am passionate about.

Nicole is a very soothing person when she speaks to you personally. My issue in the past with therapists has been I feel like another 'number' in their day. She has never made me feel that way. She has consistently guided me through my feelings and situations, and I have been able to apply her techniques through the following week before our next meeting. I would overload her with referrals. I hope that Rula hires more therapists like Nicole. I have been through a few (not through Rula) and I have never encountered one quite like her. I hope you tell her thank you for me.
