Does life feel overwhelming for you or perhaps your child at the moment? I have worked with clients of all ages for the past ten years and I also specialize in working with children and family units as a whole. I provide individual and family counseling to an array of populations, including those with anxiety, depression, ADHD, histories of physical, sexual or emotional abuse, post traumatic stress disorder, or negative coping skills. I work with my clients through a Cognitive Behavioral Approach. When working with children or adolescents I use creative approaches to therapy, including art, sand play and play therapy techniques.

There are times in our lives when we may have difficulty adjusting to work, family, and life stressors. Some may have experienced a traumatic event and have difficulty coping. Others may find it challenging to manage anxiety and depression, building healthy relationships, connecting to love ones or coping with other mental health conditions. Whatever the issues maybe, there is hope for healing and recovery, having the best quality of life possible.

Hi everyone. My name is Nikki! I have yet to meet a single person, including myself, who can honestly say that they have never lost their way on this crazy journey we call life. You know, I once read, “Do not go where the path may lead; go instead where there is no path and leave a trail.” At times, we may become unbalanced. We all have strength within us, beautiful wings that can allow us to fly. I partner with my clients to help them regain their footing and find their way on their life journey - regardless of the difficulties they may be facing.

I believe that change happens outside of our comfort zone. At the same time, I believe that feeling safe is a vital part of the change process. We can only begin to step outside of where we have been, into a more healthy and happy life, if we are first grounded in safety and security. I strive to provide this environment for my clients. My goal is that all clients feel safe and secure the entire time that we work together, to move through the uncomfortable aspects of life, towards a happier, healthier, more fulfilling existence.

Are you struggling to keep up with life's fast pace? Do you often feel anxious, stressed, overwhelmed, or even depressed in your day to day journey? You are not alone. Life can be messy and full of transitions that can sometimes lead us astray in our journey towards peace and happiness. This can lead to difficulty in reaching personal goals, impact interpersonal relationships, and negatively impact our self-esteem and self-concept. These struggles are not specific to adults, as children and adolescents are also dealing with the same challenges at a younger and younger age.

Applying theoretical application into practice varies from person to person as I assess, analyze, and evaluate the “self” through one on one counseling, therapy, observation, active listening, communication, surveys, and much more through clinical intervention and exploration. My main focus is YOU within a deep, empathic, and respectful atmosphere TOGETHER we can discover who the “SELF” truly is. Displaying a welcoming non- judgmental environment while setting the primary goal to establish a therapeutic alliance through confidentiality, empathic understanding, unconditional positive regard, respect, and dignity.

Handling day to day life with anxiety, Autism, or ADHD takes a ton of energy - finding a therapist with experience with severe or long-term mental illness can be equally exhausting. As a clinical psychologist, I have the training and experience necessary to help life seem a little less overwhelming. My clients often find that they have visited many therapists, but never seem to feel understood or make progress. This is even more difficult for neurodivergent clients (or those who wonder if they have Autism or ADHD), as it's difficult to get a clear diagnosis. This leads to a long-term, frustrating cycle of trying to find a good fit.
