About Nikita
I’m a licensed therapist in Alabama and Washington State with years of experience supporting clients through anxiety, grief, life transitions, and relationship challenges.
I work especially well with motivated people navigating medical anxiety, repetitive or body-focused habits, and the stress of feeling stuck in unfulfilling relationships. Many of my clients come to therapy with clear goals and a strong sense of independence — they’re ready to do the inner work and want a space where they can feel safe, seen, and empowered.
Together, we’ll identify what’s holding you back and move toward more fulfilling connections, increased self-trust, and the future you envision. My approach is collaborative, grounded, and attuned to both where you are now and where you’re headed.
