Hi! I am Nicole French. I have been a counselor for the last 10 years and have worked with some of the most diverse clients helping them to find a path toward health and mental wellness. For some this has looked like freeing themselves from old hurts, finding value in themselves again or possibly for the first time, setting healthy boundaries in various types of relationships, learning skills to manage specific symptoms like anxiety or depression, and building achievable goals in all areas of their lives.

Life can feel so overwhelming, with endless things to do, deadlines and decisions to make. It's hard to know what to do with all the emotions swirling around in our brains. With everything going on in our lives, and the world right now, it's even more important to develop coping skills and have an appropriate outlet to process experiences and "empty out" our heads, sort through the jumble of thoughts, and make sense of it all. We tend to view our troubling thoughts as embarrassing and scary, and talking through them makes them much more manageable.

You have so much to do, but you find yourself stuck on the couch. You are ambitious and driven. Some days you’re on top of the world, and others you feel like an imposter. You feel the pressure to keep it together, balancing your job, relationships, and life... and you are tired. You find yourself second guessing yourself, procrastinating, and struggling with perfectionism. Your anxiety has anxiety. You get in your own head and escape through mindless eating, drinking too much, doom scrolling, and sleepless nights. You have so many goals, but a fog of self-doubt and fear of failure makes it hard to get going.

My client has a need to feel better about issues that they cannot resolve. My client wants to be educated about what they are feeling, and why they experience it. My client will learn, and apply managing techniques for coping, calming and self correcting their triggers to dysfunctional thoughts and actions.

If you don't know yourself how are you going to know what is your reflection and what is a projection of yourself? Life is full of mirrors and until you can wholeheartedly love yourself and know yourself, it will be hard to decipher what's your true reflection and what is a projection from others. Although the journey of self-rediscovery can be one of the most empowering ventures to embark on, it can also, at times, be incredibly overwhelming and gut wrenching. Yet, it is in those moments that therapy supports you in nurturing yourself enough to be reborn, be reaffirmed, and to reclaim your sense of self!
