Hi!  I'm Nikki, a Licensed Professional Counselor in the Greater Pittsburgh Area that's been recognized as Marquis Who's Who Honoree Listee.  I've been working in human services for 25 years starting with an Alzheimer's unit in a nursing home and intellectual disabilities in group homes to wraparound services with children that have Autism.  I gained my education in psychology and counseling and began working with at risk youth in juvenile delinquency settings and now working with transition aged youth.  I really enjoy  helping young adults find themselves and their path in life with their personal life and professional endeavors.   I've also grown with the BFRB community (body focused repetitive behavior) being recovered myself and providing outreach and advocacy.  I have been featured on the Dr. Oz television show, spoken at the Pennsylvania Counseling Association, and written in the book Project Dermatillomania.  My main approach is a Mindfulness Based Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for general anxiety and depression and sometimes integrate expressive arts approaches for those that have difficulty expressing themselves.  I specialize in OCD and am trained in Habit Reversal, ACT, COMB and ERP.  I currently only offer online therapy and do not accept clients with severe mental illness, active suicidality or substance use.  

On a personal note, I'm married with a daughter and we enjoy outdoor activities.  My hobbies include crocheting and scrapbooking.  I really believe in "You are the author of your own life story" and would like to hear your story as you're the expert!  I teach by my own SELF approach:  S for searching your soul and what works for you, E for changing your environment from a toxic one to a healthy one, L for surrounding yourself with those that love and support you and learning to love yourself, and F for forgiving yourself for relapses.
