Hello, I'm Nicole. Are you struggling to balance the many different areas in your life? Do you feel overwhelmed and discouraged? Are hardships having a negative impact on your life and wellbeing? I help adults manage everyday stressors, life struggles, and increasing mental health symptoms. Together we can identify, process, and problem solve in order to get you back to a balanced, healthy life. We will use solution focused and client centered approaches to individualize treatment to your specific needs. Whether it be relationship issues, self-doubt, overwhelming stress, or increasing mental health symptoms that you're struggling to manage, I am here to help. Seeking help can be hard, but it is worth it! I will meet you with empathy, understanding, and support, in a judgement free safe space. Let's work together!
Get to know me
In our first session together, here's what you can expect
The first session is utilized to complete the intake assessment, treatment plan, safety plan, and review client questionnaires. We will get to know each other a little and discuss a treatment plan that is the best fit for you.
The treatment methods and tools I utilize
Some treatment methods and tools I like to utilize include psychodynamic therapy to allow you to talk about anything on your mind to uncover patterns in thoughts and behaviors. Cognitive Behavioral therapy to address problematic thoughts and behaviors that can cause distress. Dialectical behavioral therapy to prioritize acceptance and emotional regulation, developing skills to cope with challenging situations. Psychoeducation to learn and develop skills and knowledge about mental health. As well as mindfulness skills.
The biggest strengths that I bring into our sessions
Over the years I have worked with many adults struggling with a wide range of life stressors and mental health symptoms. I have experience in crisis intervention, grief and loss, depression, anxiety, negative self-image, low self-worth, and relationship struggles. I have extra education in trauma and specifically first responder counseling training.
The clients I'm best positioned to serve
Adults who are struggling with life stressors, increasing mental health symptoms, and poor self-esteem/self image issues.
