Get to know me

In our first session together, here's what you can expect

In our first session together, we'll start with brief introductions, then dive into the specific challenges you're facing in a comprehensive assessment. This will help us create a tailored plan for us to work through in follow-up sessions. We will spend some time doing this, so that I can capture as much information that will assist in applying therapeutic interventions that will help you work towards progressing your treatment most effectively.

The biggest strengths that I bring into our sessions

My ability to apply life experiences, skills training, and education allows me to be relatable and adaptable, which are my biggest strengths. I am a Certified Clinical Trauma Professional, a EMDR Therapist, a Certified Trauma Informed Yoga Professional and my skills surround working with women who struggle with self confidence, anxiety, and trauma. I also work with children and adolescents who struggle with building self-confidence, anxiety, trauma, and behavior concerns.

The clients I'm best positioned to serve

Sometimes you just need some therapeutic guidance to navigate through life experiences. I enjoy working with individuals who come in with an open mind of the possibility that they can be the best version of themselves by taking this step towards healing. Individuals who have a desire to seek assistance in processing their experiences and (re)learning healthy life skills have tend to have a more positive impact to their treatment goals. I enjoy working with women who struggle with their self-beliefs and confidence in themself and/or within their career. Watching individuals truly blossom into who they really are and seeing themselves without the distorted perception is rewarding to not just myself but to the individual who is most deserving of it.

Found Nyque online and was drawn to her experience and warm presence. And it shows in our sessions. She is truly a warm person who provides me with space to process, express myself, and arrive to a clearer idea of who I want to be and how I want to show up for myself.
