Hi I’m a licensed professional counselor licensed in many states. I have been in the counseling field helping children and adults for more than 20 years. I help adults of all ages struggling with everyday stressors, my goal is to help you figure out and work through challenges to live life on your terms and create a healthy balance. ****Please note if you are currently or recently feeling suicidal, you will be referred to an in office provider, psychiatrist and/ likely a higher level of care, as I would only treat in severe depression and suicidality in office.******Please call 988 which is the free 24 hour crisis line, if you feel like you want to harm yourself or are feeling very overwhelmed.
In our first session together, we will start with brief introductions, then dive into specific challenges you are currently facing as well as review your history to ascertain patterns and how things have progressed throughout your life. This will help me create a tailored plan, please note you may be referred out to other providers based on your needs, i.e you need medication, drug treatment etc., another treatment modality etc., my goal is to make sure you are getting proper treatment to address your needs as there are different types of therapy practices.
Having worked with children, teenagers, young adults, middle-aged adults and elder adults in different programs, I’ve identified ways to help you identify the root cause of challenges to create a plan increase in overall mental wellness.
I love helping navigate life issues to combat stress and move from feeling stuck or stagnant to feeling free, focused, and living your life the way you want to live it!

I love that Nicole always empowers me. She allows me to feel that I am capable of living for myself and doing anything and everything that I enjoy.

I felt 100% worse after our session. She logged in late, took another call during my session and ended it early to get to her next client. Everything I said, she minimized it. Her demeanor is MEAN. Her prescribed coping tool: "JUST GET OVER IT".

It was a very good intake session. She asked all the appropriate questions and was very direct (which I appreciate) and warm. I'm looking forward to our next session.
