Welcome to my profile! My name is Nicole, and I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT 90411) with a decade of professional experience serving client's in a variety of settings including private practice, nonprofits and school based. My therapeutic approach is warm and supportive, focused on creating a safe space where you can freely explore your experiences, and empower you with the tools to establish effective communication, healthy boundaries, and get unstuck. I believe effective therapy combines gentle encouragement with empathetic guidance, offering both structure and warmth tailored to your unique journey. Our work together is a collaborative process rooted in connection, openness, and trust. By utilizing personalized, evidence-based approaches, we foster meaningful transformations through compassionate self-discovery and genuine dialogue. Therapy requires an investment of your time, finances, and emotional energy. It is my privilege to support you as you navigate life's complexities, empowering you to define and achieve your own vision of fulfillment.

What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?

I feel honored to be a small part of each client’s growth, healing, and personal and professional journeys. However, I understand that finding a good fit in a therapist is an essential factor in determining the outcome of care, therefore please feel open to reach out for a free 15 min. consultation call in order to make a decision that is best for you. If you decide I may be a good fit we will schedule a first session. In our initial session, we'll begin with exploring what brought you here and delve into the specific challenges you're encountering. This detailed exploration will serve as the foundation for crafting a goal-oriented, personalized plan that we will refine and implement in subsequent sessions.

Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.

As a therapist, I bring a blend of strengths to our sessions that are rooted in compassion, support, and a focus on your strengths and goals. I approach our work together with a collaborative spirit, valuing your unique experiences and perspectives. My approach is deeply compassionate, aiming to create a safe and supportive environment where you can explore challenges and discover your inner strengths. Together, we will embark on a journey that is goal-oriented, working towards meaningful and sustainable changes that align with your aspirations and values.

Describe the client(s) you are best positioned to serve.

I specialize in assisting individuals in overcoming past traumas and managing the anxiety and overwhelm that often accompany trying to fulfill multiple roles, empowering them to reclaim a sense of calm, joy, and self amidst life's challenges. Additionally, I often work with young professionals or career changers who are either navigating the early stages of their careers or finding a sense of passion/fulfillment professionally. My clients are motivated to grow and succeed but may feel uncertain or lacking the necessary tools to achieve their goals. Lastly, I enjoy supporting parents on their parenting journey and finding tools for connection with their children.
