I specialize in exploring archetypal stories in the body, meaning I seek to explore questions such as: Why do I repeat these patterns? What am I not seeing? What are my blindspots? What is missing? Why can't I see through this? What do I really want? I work with you to gather forms and ideas from which the interplay of the Arts and the body help to reveal ways one can understand and integrate ailments of body, heart, mind and soul.

Hi, I'm Nicole (she/her). Maybe you're feeling stuck...you know what the problem is but not what to do next. Maybe you've been experiencing worry, or a sense of 'what's the point?' about your life. Maybe you're feeling really alone. Maybe you've recognized that the past is creeping into your present, and old patterns are affecting the relationships you are in today. Maybe you've even been to therapy before but haven't seen the change you want to see. If you're in a space where you're not feeling like yourself, you're not alone, I have felt this way too, and I know how much courage it takes to even start considering asking for help.

I am drawn towards working with clients who are navigating major life changes, as these "turning points" can be both incredibly difficult yet rewarding. Changes in employment, relationship status, or the loss of a loved one can lead to feelings of grief, loss and tremendous anxiety about the future. It can be hard to feel confident moving forward when we feel something, or someone, is missing. Even when we are embracing a wanted change it can sometimes feel daunting and overwhelming to embark on something new.

I believe that every client is innately aware where they need to go (in therapy) to heal themselves. My role is to use my skills to help them along in that process. I meet clients where they are at recognizing that may change from session to session. We start with their goal(s) for counselling and work from there. I don't "need" to know anything in particular before we start. I find that with a trusting relationship, a client will share all that is relevant in order to attain their goal(s).
