I offer individual, couple and family counseling. My approach is strengths-based, collaborative, and outcome-informed. You are the expert on your own life.

I believe that just as relationships can be the source of hurt, we also heal through community in safe relationships.

Do you feel that the relationship you and your partner dreamed of may be slipping away? Searching for reconnection? You may be fed up with arguments interfering with family time, feeling misunderstood or alone. It may be getting more difficult to remember a time when things didn’t feel this way. But one thing is for sure: you’re ready for change. To learn to create improved patterns in your communication. Most of all, you’re ready to establish peace and love in your relationship again.

Choosing counseling can be a monumental step in life's journey. I consider it a privilege to come along side you as you are seeking insight, growth and change. I enjoy working with women via phone therapy. My approach to counseling involves consideration of the whole person. Your mind, your body and your spirit. I utilize several counseling theories - Cognitive Behavioral, Solution-Focused, Emotion-Focused, and Accelerated Resolution Therapy among others. Mostly though, I focus on meeting you where you are and without judgment so that you can experience the growth you desire.

Welcome ! I am Nicke. I aim to make therapy feel like a familiar conversation; one you can look forward to each time! My therapy style is like having an old friend; the one you tell everything to and never feel judged. Do you find yourself unhappy, depressed, anxious, or feeling like you’re ready to give up? Are you thinking of divorce or other relationship issues? Substance abuse? Career whoas? The issues that have placed you and your wellbeing at a crossroad can be helped. I specialize in severe depression, anxiety , interpersonal relationship issues, and personality disorders. Let me help you get back to the goodness in life.

I am a warm, sensitive, and empathic person who has dedicated her life to helping others. I have 30 years of experience working as a psychotherapist, psychologist, psychoanalyst, teacher, vocational counselor and life coach. I am also a mother and a wife with great deal of practical life experience. I have lived in the US and Mexico, which has given me a deep understanding of both cultures. My personal experiences of loss have also given me expertise and a particular degree of empathy for helping people who are suffering from grief and loss.

As someone who has navigated the rollercoaster of emotions and the occasional relationship squabble, I get it—life can be a wild ride. My own experiences with life's twists and turns have led me to become a therapist who not only understands the struggles but can also share a laugh along the way. I believe that therapy doesn't have to be all serious; a bit of humor can be a great way to connect and heal. With that being said, therapy can be a vulnerable journey and while no two stories are the same, I think you need a place where you can give someone all your puzzle pieces who can help make sense of what is going on with you.
