New to Grow
Hi, I’m Nicole, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, and I’m passionate about helping individuals feel more confident, balanced, and in control of their lives. With over 11 years of experience, I support clients navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, and life transitions. My approach is warm, collaborative, and grounded in evidence-based practices like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. Together, we explore how thoughts, emotions, and behaviors are connected, while also addressing patterns shaped by past experiences. I believe therapy should be a safe space—free of judgment—where you feel heard, supported, and empowered. You don’t need to have all the answers to begin. We’ll move at a pace that feels right for you, focusing on practical tools, insight, and meaningful growth. If you’re ready to take the next step—or even just curious about starting—I’d be honored to walk alongside you on your journey.
In our first session together, here's what you can expect
In our first session, we’ll focus on getting to know you and understanding what brings you to therapy. We’ll discuss your goals, explore your concerns, and begin building a comfortable, supportive therapeutic relationship—at a pace that feels right for you.
The biggest strengths that I bring into our sessions
My strengths include building strong therapeutic relationships, providing a warm and non-judgmental space, and using practical, evidence-based strategies to help clients create lasting change. I take a trauma-informed, collaborative approach that supports insight, emotional regulation, and personal growth.
The clients I'm best positioned to serve
I work with individuals experiencing anxiety, depression, stress, and the effects of past experiences who are ready to better understand their thoughts, emotions, and behaviors. My ideal clients are open to growth, seeking practical coping strategies, and looking for a supportive, compassionate space to create meaningful change.
Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
With over 11 years of experience using Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), I help clients break free from unhelpful thought patterns and develop practical tools to manage anxiety, depression, and everyday stress. I work collaboratively with clients to identify how thoughts, emotions, and behaviors are connected, using the cognitive triangle to create greater self-awareness and lasting change. I also integrate CBT strategies to help clients understand and heal from triggers connected to childhood and past trauma, empowering them to build healthier coping skills, improve emotional regulation, and move forward with confidence.
Solution Focused Brief Treatment
I use a solution-focused approach to help clients recognize their strengths and reclaim a sense of control over their lives. Together, we build on what’s already working, set meaningful goals, and take practical steps to manage anxiety, depression, and everyday stress—so growth feels empowering, achievable, and lasting.
Person-centered (Rogerian)
I use a person-centered approach to create a warm, supportive space where you can feel heard, understood, and truly yourself. We’ll move at your pace, focus on what matters most to you, and work together toward clarity, emotional balance, and meaningful change in your life.
Supportive
Through supportive therapy, I help clients feel grounded, validated, and supported as they build coping skills and confidence to navigate stress, emotional challenges, and everyday life.
