I have had the privilege of being a therapist since graduating from New York University in 2004 and have worked with individuals, families, children, adolescents, couples and adults. I have been trained in EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) as well as a psychodynamic perspective. Having lived outside of the US for over 5 years of my adult life has also contributed to my ability to build rapport quickly and effectively.

My professional strength is knowing how to help people calm down and regain focus in one of three ways:(1) counseling-helping someone get through difficult life issues such as the death of a loved one; (2) psychotherapy-which involves real change and requires a long-term commitment to healing open wounds; and (3) consultation-providing advice on a single issue or event where professional consultation could be helpful. Everyone has a story to tell and I am here to listen, to help and to heal. It is my unwavering belief that no matter what the situation is, our problems are never bigger than life.

Hi, I'm Nicole! I know it can be difficult to take that first step in getting help, like it was for me as a young adult with a chronic illness, who was also newly married. This was a challenging time for me because I wasn't feeling like myself and I was away from my support system. I was sad and tearful most days, worried about being ill, and what my life would look like in this new reality. Do you feel like you haven't been yourself lately? Maybe you no longer know who that person is. Are you having trouble getting out of bed? Do you notice you no longer enjoy the things you used to love? Or are you just finding it difficult to get
