In addition, I enjoy supporting individuals who face difficulty with life transitions, depression, anxiety, relationship issues, grief, and trauma.
Hello there! I am sure it has been quite a journey that has brought you to the place you are at now, and I commend you for making that first step in providing yourself with help. Everyone deserves a fulfilling, purposeful, functioning life, but let's be honest, sometimes we fall off that path and lose our way, and that is okay. Therapy is a beautiful opportunity to receive support in finding successful strategies to navigate through life's tough seasons. I find joy in working with children, adolescents, adults, families, and couples.

I have extensive experience working with anxiety, depression, trauma, abuse, grief, autism, developmental disorders, self-esteem, relationships, ADHD, and defiance.
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.

Anxiety Therapists
What are the most common treatments for anxiety?
Talk therapy, particularly cognitive behavioral therapy, is the most common treatment for anxiety. Studies have shown it is equally effective as medication. Other popular forms of therapy are popular, depending on a patient’s experience. Exposure therapy, for instance, can be useful for people dealing with fears and phobias, or who have experienced traumatic events. Dialectical Behavioral Therapy may be useful for patients who need help with emotion regulation. Anxiolytic medications, like benzodiazepines, can also help with calming a person enough to focus on the skills they’ve learned, and physical exercise has been shown to help symptoms of anxiety across the board.
How long does therapy for anxiety take to work?
The amount of time needed to alleviate symptoms depends on the severity of a person’s condition. Some therapies may take 5-20 weekly sessions to show results. Anti-depressant medications typically take two to four weeks before a benefit is felt. Anti-anxiety medications are felt typically within 20-30 minutes. Medications are best used to offer a patient a better headspace in which to work on techniques learned in therapy. Exercise, improved sleep habits, and meditation are effective, but takes weeks or months to show results.
When should I seek treatment for anxiety?
Everyone feels anxious at times, but when anxiety causes disruption to your daily life, it may be time to seek help. Such disruption can be mental, physical, or both: having fear dominate your thoughts, avoiding situations or objects that bring on feelings of anxiety, or experiencing shortness of breath, sweating, dizziness, or panic attacks. When these symptoms are recurrent and distressing, it may be time to talk to someone.
How effective is treatment for anxiety?
Treatment for anxiety has been shown to be moderately to highly effective, according to a large body of psychology studies and analyses. For some people, treatment using CBT or exposure therapy alone is effective. Others respond best to a combination of medication and therapy.
