Now accepting new clients! Hi! I'm Nikki, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker specializing in women's wellness. I offer one-on-one Telehealth sessions to address anxiety, trauma, life transitions, and relationship issues. Often women come to me because they feel anxious, they aren't sure who they are anymore, something feels "off", or their relationships just aren't as fulfilling as they hoped for. The to-do list never ends, they feel overwhelmed and alone, like they are never “enough”. Maybe they recently had a baby or have just reached a point where they are reflecting more and craving more from life.

Are you struggling in relationships & dating- repeating the same unhelpful patterns? Or are you and your partner looking to get back on the same team and communicate better? In our sessions, I facilitate therapeutic conversations that help you take a close look at what might be standing in the way of having more connected relationships. With a background in the arts, I bring a creative and empathetic approach to therapy. Like a play or a novel, our lives are composed of stories we tell ourselves about who we are. Once we understand your current narratives, we can work together to craft a new, empowering story for your future.

I work with individuals who feel like they're constantly swimming against the tide, especially those within the neurodiverse and LGBTQIA+ communities. If you're wrestling with the feeling of being out of sync in a world that seems to demand conformity, or if the societal 'norms' seem more like hurdles than pathways, therapy can be a beacon. This is your arena to discover and embrace your unique self, to find strategies that align with your true identity, and to carve out a life that feels like yours.
