About me

Hi, I'm Nikki. Life may come with loads of challenges that can be difficult to navigate, especially when you're feeling anxious, depressed, or fearful of what it may throw at you. It can be very hard to express yourself, not only to your loved ones but also to be your authentic self. I understand just how hard it is to connect with people in the world or find meaning in your life when you're struggling just to get by. Together, we can try to make what seems impossible...possible. I hold an MSW and am a Licensed Independent Social Worker. My approach to therapy is grounded in empathy and understanding. I believe in creating a safe and supportive space where you can explore your feelings and experiences without judgment. Whether you're dealing with a specific issue or just need someone to talk to, I'm here to help. In our sessions, you can expect a collaborative and personalized approach. We'll work together to identify your goals and develop strategies to achieve them. I believe in the power of therapy to transform lives, and I'm committed to supporting you on your journey to healing and growth. If you're ready to take the first step towards a better future, I'm here to support you. Let's work together to make what seems impossible...possible.
