About Nicole
I am a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor in Illinois and California. I have over 10 years of professional counseling work experience and another 10 years of work with the Department of Veterans Affairs and the National Center for PTSD. I have experience in helping clients with stress, anxiety, coping with addictions, grief and loss, LGBTQ related concerns, life changes, motivation, self esteem, & confidence. I also have knowledge, ability and interest in working with trauma recovery and military service related coping skills needs. I work with my clients to create an open and safe environment where thoughts and feelings can be shared without fear of judgment. It takes courage to seek out a more fulfilling and happier life and to take the first steps towards a change. I am here to support & empower you in that journey.
