My usual clients are adults seeking positive change who are willing to do introspective work to get there. My clinical work includes depression, anxiety, trauma, & bipolar.

My approach to working with clients is based on building upon strengths, to generate solutions that empower the individual. I support my clients using various therapeutic modalities as they fortify their connection to themselves and others. Being multi-racial, gay, and having been raised in a bicultural household, I have learned that there are many ways to make meaning of the life that you were born into, while informing the life you create for yourself.

I moved to Seattle in 2017 after spending the previous ten years on the East Coast in New York City and Washington, DC. I grew up in Omaha, Nebraska as a Jewish gay kid who always felt “out of place” in a community where these identities were largely invisible. I also lost my mother to cancer at the tender age of 16 while attempting to accept my gay identity. As a therapist, these experiences have helped me develop resiliency and to better understand how oppressive systems can create feelings of loneliness, isolation, despair, and hopelessness. I work a lot with queer clients around belonging, open relationships, and sexual shame.

I work with individuals who are feeling stuck or going through transition in their lives. I believe that people are doing the best they can, but habitual ways of relating to ourselves and others can hold us back from having the life and relationships we want. Some of my specialties include working with anxiety, depression, trauma, LGBTQIA2+ folks, BIPOC folks, and those in polyamorous or nonmonogamous relationships.

I utilize an integrative approach to therapy, meaning that I combine different theories together to best suit your individual needs (including client-centered, narrative, DBT, CBT, psychodynamic, and solution-focused). I strongly believe in acceptance as an important component of change and will actively use techniques from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) in my work. An interpersonal process approach connects these different theories. I believe that if we can bring the problem into the room and experience it between us, we will have the best chance of working through it successfully.

Hello, I am the owner and Supervisor at Creative Expressions Therapy and I have current availability (Updated August 2024). I believe the therapeutic relationship is invaluable. It is undeniable that the systems we exist in perpetuate dispiriting degrees of privilege and oppression for different bodies, which significantly impact how we relate to our selves and our community. I aim to support you in navigating these systems, to gain insight into the impact it has had on your life, and identify ways to build up and protect your sense of self. I value compassion, equity, creativity, humor, and honesty in my work with clients.

Trauma and discrimination deeply impact the lives of survivors. At times it can feel as though these struggles will not ease, or that they require a high energy investment. When you feel that you have the space to engage, therapy can be a gentle and energizing process that brings about healing and growth to improve your mental, physical, and social health.

The way we experience life in and outside of our bodies is profoundly informative. I operate from the view that individuals have an innate wisdom and collection of strengths that guide their ability to heal and grow. Trauma and dislocation from the genuine self, whether experienced individually or systemically, influences how we live, how we love, and how we interpret the world. Painful experience can also connect us with our humanity and be deeply transformative: it can be the source of our healing, growth and resilience.

My name is Nicole, and I am a bilingual clinical social worker fluent in Spanish and English. I am a queer, Swedish-German American, cis-gender woman with chronic illness and an artist’s eye. All of this shapes who I am and how I enter my practice as a trauma therapist, artist, advocate and author. My passion and experience are in trauma healing, and specifically working with those who are survivors of religious trauma, immigration injustice, female disempowerment, chronic health conditions, and the cumulative traumatic stress that can come from navigating this world as queer and/or trans.
