Hi, I'm Nicole, and I'm a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist working with clients for over 12 years. I have served clients in community mental health, residential care, outpatient services, and private practice settings, as well as supervising unlicensed clinicians on their own career paths. I work with grief and loss, anxiety, depression, trauma, interpersonal relational issues, and life transitions.

Life is ever-evolving, and sometimes we need a partner to help us navigate its changing tides. Together, we will focus on building your resilience and capacity for whatever comes next. Our work is practical and action-oriented; we'll identify tangible coping skills you can apply to your daily life, while working to shift negative self-talk into a more supportive mindset. I believe the best work happens in an environment of trust, which is why I always welcome feedback and invite a spirit of shared accountability in our sessions.

I specialize in working with women and parents navigating major life transitions. This includes those dealing with pregnancy, postpartum adjustment, infertility, and pregnancy loss. I also work with clients processing birth-related trauma or feeling overwhelmed by anxiety and identity shifts.

I have been a licensed Marriage and Family Therapist, working with individuals and couples for over 25 years.

My specialties include working with parenting issues, LGBTQ+ issues and adult neurodivergence.

I work with adults experiencing anxiety and depression, including overthinking, low motivation, feeling overwhelmed, and a loss of interest in daily life. Many come in feeling mentally exhausted or stuck in patterns that aren’t working.
