Nik J
Hello! I'm Nik. Sometimes in life, we can feel out of touch with ourselves or those around us. Life isn't easy and despite what we feel like we should be doing or achieving it doesn't always work out that way. Talk therapy is a great way to explore difficult feelings and get to the core of what hasn't been working for you and more importantly, what will.
I think my style can be described as a bit laid back but through that approachable feeling I will meet you where you are and we'll make your goals together.
I am a licensed marriage and family therapist with 10+ years of experience in the mental health field. I have worked in myriad settings from formal hospitals to college campuses and have experience with a wide array of clients. What I enjoy most is helping people explore the thoughts that they don't share with other people. The thoughts people are scared to explore out loud. Therapy is a process and should be approachable and malleable, my biggest strength is being welcoming in that process helping folks feel like they are talking to someone they trust and getting rid of any uncomfortable "formal authority" feelings people might have attending therapy. Maybe you're feeling burned out, maybe you're anxious or depressed and don't know why. Maybe you've been told by others to go to therapy. Maybe you've had years of therapy and want to come back or maybe you've never been and are reading this now feeling noncommital and unseen. It doesn't matter why, I'm glad you're taking a step to get help whether it is with me or another clinician. You deserve a consistent space to explore yourself unjudged and free! If you think we might be a fit hit me up and let's chat!
First session
In our first session I want us to get to know each other more and begin to build a rapport, we will go over why you have sought therapy and any therapy/mental health history you may already have.
Strengths
My biggest strength is being approachable in the therapeutic process and meetling clients where they are. I have a lot of experience working with college students and those feeling lost in life in general. Let's talk!
Ideal clients
I enjoy working with young adults who are motivated to engage in therapy and explore themselves and the world around them. Currently not accepting couples clients.
