About me

Welcome, I’m Nicole. On the surface, your life may appear put together, yet inside you still feel stuck and unseen. I help adults uncover and heal the hidden impact of past trauma, break free from painful cycles, and build healthier, more meaningful connections. My goal is lasting change, helping you move from coping to thriving with peace, resilience, and confidence.

Get to know me

In our first session together, here's what you can expect

In our first session, I’ll create a safe, supportive space where you feel heard. We’ll clarify what brings you to therapy, explore your goals, and identify patterns that may be holding you back. You set the pace. By the end, you’ll have clarity, direction, and a plan for moving forward with confidence.

The biggest strengths that I bring into our sessions

My strength is helping clients uncover the link between past experiences and present struggles in a way that feels both validating and transformative. I combine empathy with practical tools so you leave each session feeling understood and equipped to take action. I specialize in working with motivated adults who are tired of “just coping” and want lasting change. Clients value my ability to see beneath the surface, reflect their strengths, and guide them as they break free from old patterns, set boundaries, and build resilience. Together, we create a path toward peace, confidence, and a stronger sense of self.

The clients I'm best positioned to serve

You’ve accomplished a lot in your life, but beneath the surface, you feel blocked. Despite your success at work, you may find yourself exhausted, disconnected, or frustrated that your relationships or personal goals aren’t where you want them to be. Often, the hidden root of these struggles is unresolved childhood trauma or adversity. You may notice yourself repeating patterns you wish you could break or carrying an invisible weight that prevents you from moving forward. My ideal client is motivated, values growth, and is ready to confront these challenges head-on. They want more than quick fixes — they want tools, understanding, and transformation. Together, we’ll explore how the past has shaped your present, develop practical coping strategies, and create a clear path toward resilience, healing, and fulfillment in every area of life.
