Hi, I’m nicole!

Let’s work together to figure out what’s missing.

In sessions with me, you'll find a space where genuine conversations happen. I’m not the kind of therapist who just smiles and nods—I believe in real, interactive dialogues. I might sometimes interrupt you to share an observation or idea and let a few swear words slip, because I want our sessions to feel like two people talking on the same level. While I have expertise in my areas of specialty, you are still the expert on your life. This means you can give me feedback at any time—therapy is a collaborative process, and your voice is essential.

I bring an enormous amount of empathy & cultivate a safe space in sessions.

I know you might have had experiences in the past where people didn’t believe you or take you seriously, but I promise you won’t find that here. While I’m trained in a plethora of methods, I tailor my approach to fit your unique needs, blending humor, storytelling, and attentiveness. I’m not known for sticking to rigid protocols, and want to take into account the specifics of your experience to make sure we find solutions that will actually work for you.

My hope is that our time together is engaging and impactful, not just a series of clinical steps. Together, we'll set and work toward realistic goals, and I’ll make sure you always know what you're working on and why. I genuinely want to see you heal and thrive, and will support you through navigating whatever you’re going through to get there.

Specializing in —

  • You’ve tried everything to fix your sleep, but nothing ever seems to stick. 

    The effects of your exhaustion have touched every area of your life. You're too drained to hang out with friends and your performance at work isn’t as consistent as it could be. In therapy, I’ll help you understand how sleep works and customize solutions that fit your lifestyle, so you can start getting rest and enjoying your life again.

  • You worry about every aspect of your life. 

    Work, health, family, finances—the list goes on. A fear of failure and constant striving for perfection often make it hard to relax. This ongoing stress can put a strain on your relationships and even lead to burnout. Therapy can help you manage anxious thoughts, set healthier boundaries, and build confidence in your ability to handle tough situations.

  • Feelings from the past keep affecting your present. 

    You struggle to trust others, especially in close relationships, and often find yourself taking care of everyone but you. Despite staying busy, you can’t outrun the voice in your head that criticizes every decision you make. Therapy can help you set boundaries, let go of unnecessary guilt and shame, learn to trust yourself, and regain a strong sense of who you are.
