Hello-I’m Nicole and I love being a therapist. I have over 25 years of experience working with individuals and families as both an educator and a therapist. As a therapist, my goal is to provide compassion, information, support, reassurance, expertise and guidance. I enjoy collaborating with individuals, parents and families to ease day-to-day struggles while also resolving the underlying patterns that continue to create distress.
In our first session, we will chat about what brings you to therapy and I'll share how I work and what you can expect in the subsequent sessions.
I have found EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization Reprocessing), IFS (Internal Family Systems), and the psychodynamic methods to be most helpful to my clients. My foundational training is in the Humanistic and Psychodynamic approaches as well as somatic work and mindfulness/meditation. I also draw heavily on my training as a couple's therapist.
I really care about my clients and I know they feel this warmth and care from me. I love helping them to figure out why certain feelings or patterns come up and how to shift those patterns. I love weaving in examples and metaphors from previous sessions to help integrate the shifts from week to week.
You are looking for support, warmth and guidance in figuring out the path to a more easeful and fulfilling life. Are you feeling stressed? Are your relationships with family, friends and work colleagues more challenging than you'd like them to be? Do you know how you want your life to look but you don't know how to get there? I can help to guide you
