About Nicole

Life may come with loads of challenges that maybe difficult to navigate; especially when you are: anxious, depressed, or fearful of what it may throw at you. It can be very hard to express yourself to not only your loved ones, but it may also be hard to be your authentic self. I know just how hard it is to connect with people in the world or find meaning in your life when you are struggling just to get by. Together, we can try to make what seem impossible…possible.

My therapy style is warm and interactive. I believe in treating anyone with respect, sensitivity, and compassion ,yet firm and supportive. My approach combines cognitive-behavioral, dialectical-behavioral; acceptance and commitment, as well as motivational interviewing.
I would like to commend you on taking this first step to be in control of your life! It takes courage to seek a more fulfilling and happier life and to take the first steps towards change.

Please call or email me with any questions!
