LPC, 10 years of experience
Frequently rebooked
Hi! As a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Georgia with 10 years of diverse experience in community health, inpatient care, clinic settings, and college environments, I have developed a deep understanding of the unique challenges faced by individuals across various life stages. I am genuinely excited to sit with you on this journey, as we explore your experiences together and work toward creating meaningful change in your life.
In our very first session, we will begin with an open dialogue where I encourage you to ask questions about the therapeutic process and my approach. As we explore your background, challenges, and goals, my focus will be on actively listening and fostering trust, allowing you to feel heard and understood while laying the groundwork for a meaningful therapeutic relationship.
As a therapist, my greatest strengths include my ability to help clients move their lives into greater alignment with their values and aspirations. I facilitate a process where clients can think in healthier ways, enabling them to gain clarity and perspective on their challenges. Through our work together, I empower clients to develop effective coping strategies and practical tools, allowing them to navigate life’s complexities with resilience and confidence.
I am passionate about working with clients who are ready to sit in the uncomfortable spaces of their emotions and experiences, guided by an experienced helper. These individuals are open to exploring the depths of their feelings, whether navigating grief, life transitions, or depression. Together, we create a safe and supportive environment where they can confront challenges, gain insight, and ultimately foster resilience and growth as they work toward positive change.
I utilize Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help clients identify and challenge negative thought patterns that contribute to their emotional distress. Together, we work to develop practical coping strategies and healthier thinking habits, empowering clients to make positive changes in their lives. By focusing on the connection between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors, I guide clients toward achieving their goals and improving their overall well-being.
I employ Narrative Therapy to assist clients in reshaping their stories related to depression, anxiety, illness, and grief, enabling them to view their experiences from a new perspective. By exploring their personal narratives, we work together to identify the strengths and values they hold, helping them to separate their identity from their struggles. This collaborative process empowers clients to reconstruct their stories in a way that fosters resilience and hope, ultimately enhancing their emotional well-being.
I incorporate Cognitive Reprocessing to help clients process and reframe traumatic experiences in a supportive environment. By encouraging clients to explore the thoughts and beliefs linked to their trauma, we work together to challenge and modify unhelpful narratives that may perpetuate their distress. This approach facilitates healing and promotes a sense of empowerment, allowing clients to gain a clearer understanding of their trauma and its impact on their lives.
In my sessions, I incorporate somatic practices to help clients reconnect with their bodies and understand the impact of their experiences on the nervous system. By guiding clients through techniques such as mindful breathing, body awareness, and gentle movement, we can release stored tension and trauma, promoting relaxation and emotional regulation. This integrative approach fosters a deeper awareness of the mind-body connection, empowering clients to manage stress and cultivate a sense of safety within themselves.

Nicole is an extremely compassionate listener. I felt like she provided a warm and supportive space for me to find the answers within to some of the most difficult topics. Without judgement or trying to fix anything right away, she would provide valuable insight that helped me navigate and understand parts of myself I was struggling to see or articulate.
