UnitedHealthcare UHC | UBH Therapists in Duluth, MN

I am a psychotherapist who specializes in working with adolescents, young adults, and adults. I am unapologetically optimistic and truly believe that there is unlimited potential with individuals when it is properly discovered and nurtured. My experience at Amberwing and DBT allows me to help transition after treatment to ensure positive long-term results. I also specialize in transition from Essentia IOP, Adult Partial and Inpatient for both adolescents and adults. I work from a strengths based perspective and believe that the relationship with the client is the most important part of the journey to healing.

Life can make you feel like you're in over your head, trying to navigate your way without support or tools. This can be painful and debilitating. The gift of therapy offers a healing and unique space to find discernment and meaning in your suffering, while developing skills to forge a clarified version of you and learning to lay down your past so you can become who you were meant to be. Healing can be painful and lonely, but you won’t have to do it alone. I am honored to walk with you on your healing journey while we transform experiences of depression, addiction, anxiety, trauma, infidelity or a new medical diagnosis.

Are you experiencing overwhelming grief after the death of a loved one- feeling lost and confused, overloaded with a gamut of emotions ranging from sadness to anger, bewildered and have difficulty thinking, wondering how to get through each day without your loved one, energy level so low you have difficulty getting out of bed, working is a challenge or maybe is preferred for an escape. You are torn whether to process the loss or to hide it- either one creates anxiety and pain. The trauma of loss can affect each of us so differently!

I am a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker (LICSW) in the state of Minnesota and have been working in the mental health field since 2021. I received my Bachelor’s degree from the University of Wisconsin-Superior with a major in Social Work. I graduated with my Master’s degree from the College of St. Scholastica in Social Work in 2021. I have experience working with children, families, teenagers, and adults. On a personal note, I enjoy spending time with my dog, watching sports, being outdoors, reading, and being with friends and family.

"Tomorrow, you promise yourself, will be different, yet, tomorrow is too often a repetition of today." James T. Mccay. Research has repeatedly shown that the single largest factor impacting treatment outcomes is not a provider's treatment methodology or theoretical orientation, but rather the quality of a client's relationship with their individual provider. Consequently I work with each client to design a carefully researched yet highly customized program that fits their unique needs. I am able to form a realistic plan for improving their life situation that brings about improvement in their symptoms quickly.

I love to work with people who are committed to staying engaged in their lives. There can be many roadblocks, both internal and external, that get in the way of full engagement, and I believe that therapy can help when we are in that stuck place. I have a particular interest in issues related to relationship difficulties, traumatic experiences, stress management, and identity development. Additionally, I believe that relational health is inseparable from individual mental health and I love to work with couples or individuals about relationship issues.

Whatever experiences life has brought our way, we continue towards wholeness and healing. Our inner drive is towards wholeness. Within a trusting therapeutic relationship we can nurture the part of us that allows us to heal, make better decisions and achieve the goals we desire. I really believe in the power that we all have to heal, make sense of our lives, and move towards the kind of life we would like.

Our world is complex and navigating it can feel overwhelming. The only constant is change and sometimes it can be hard to know what’s next. Is it any surprise that we sometimes get stuck? I work with couples, individuals, and families and help them work through difficult times by creating new paths.

I am seeking clients looking for support in navigating life transitions and finding more balance in their busy lives. I hope to work with helping professionals as there is a large need for ongoing support in taxing careers. I enjoy working with driven and hardworking professionals in the medical field, educators, and first responders. I have a passion for perinatal mental health and provide services and support for women who are experiencing infertility, pregnancy, postpartum, or transitioning into motherhood. I am certified in Perinatal Mental Health (PMH-C) through Postpartum Support International.

Life is a stroll alongside a river—beautiful scenery bursting with vibrancy and opportunity but filled with unanticipated peril. One moment, your direction seems sure; the next moment, you’re stuck in ruthless rapids. The origin of the rapids varies: they can form from the loss of a loved one, pervasive negative energy or illness, or a traumatic event in your life. In my practice, I primarily work with adults ages 19 and beyond who live with chronic pain and illness, terminal illness, grief stemming from death or loss, spiritual pain, developmental trauma, PTSD, depression, and/or anxiety.

Mental health impacts every individual differently, from day to day stressors to complex trauma. Clients who may be struggling with mental health to any degree may desire additional skills and coping strategies to live their life more effectively, create better interpersonal skills, and strive toward a healthier version of themselves.

I am happy you are reaching out. I'm of the mindset that everyone can benefit from therapy. Each of us has unique worries or concerns. We may say to ourselves, “I don't want to burden my friends and family with these” or “I just can't imagine anyone listening to me without judgment”. Choosing a therapist that you feel comfortable talking to is essential. I understand that many times the only way to build self-compassion, improve relationships, and cope with stress is to start off feeling understood, respected, and valued.

Nicole is a firm believer that trauma and addiction go hand and hand. "It too effects our bodies. A lot of times clients are unaware of that early in their recovery, and they have been using substances to cope for years. I am driven to teach my clients about the mind body connection by the teaching and exploring of somatics, negative thoughts, unconventional coping skills, i.e., such as breathworks, and by exploring safety and its meaning within themselves. Seeing other people's light shine again and finding themselves is the fuel to why I do this healing work."

I started Beacon of Strength because I wanted to create a space for clients and therapists to feel comfortable and confident.

Remote or in-person therapy sessions provide a safe and supportive environment where you can explore your feelings and learn personalized strategies to manage anxiety, depression, trauma, addiction, or relationship problems.
