Welcome! I'm Nicole, a dedicated therapist passionate about empowering individuals to navigate life's challenges and embrace their true selves. I create a space for teenage, young adult, and adult clients, particularly women and gender non-conforming individuals, to explore their identities and heal from past traumas. I work with those struggling with their sense of self and those who feel misunderstood. Whether you’re struggling with feelings of being “too much” or “not enough,” or seeking healthier and more fulfilling relationships, I am here to support you.
Trained in Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), I help bring insight while implementing practical skills to improve daily life. I also utilize Health at Every Size (HAES), somatic practices, mindfulness, and attachment theory when working with clients. I strive for a balance of warmth and humor, as well as holding space for deeper, more painful emotions.
My therapeutic style is a collaborative and transformative experience. I encourage open communication, helping clients use their voice and take an active role in their therapeutic journey. I am aware of the power dynamics that exist in therapeutic relationships, and I guide you toward the driver’s seat of your therapeutic path.
