(he/him)
Hi, I'm Nic, founder of Revision Therapy. Many people come to therapy because they want to know themselves better, improve relationships, navigate life transitions, or become more intentional about how they live. I work with anxious overachievers, LGBTQ+ folks, and anyone mid transition wondering how they got here. Maybe it's the anxiety that never fully turns off, the one that's been running in the background so long you forgot it wasn't supposed to be there. Maybe you're looking for someone who won't need to explain your identity to. Maybe you're in the middle of a transition, a breakup, a move, a new job, a version of your life you didn't sign up for, and you feel weirdly behind for something nobody actually prepares you for. Wherever you're starting from, you don't need to have it figured out before you walk in. Together, we'll explore the beliefs, patterns, and experiences that have shaped you, then focus on building practical strategies that create real change in your daily life. Therapy isn't about endless processing, but about understanding yourself while building the life you want to live. My goal is to create a space where you feel safe, welcomed, and comfortable enough to be honest about what's working and what isn't.
In your first session, you can expect a light, "get to know each other session". I'll review what is bringing you to therapy and ask clarifying questions to better understand how we can work together. We'll discuss your hobbies, interests, support system, what your daily routine is like - everything that is most important to you. You can ask any questions you have about therapy, the process, what to expect, any misconceptions you might have, what makes me qualified to work with you - anything you need to know. You want to know who you're spending your time with every week and I'm happy to share.
Before private practice, I spent more than a decade working across different corners of the mental health field, from inpatient psychiatric units to community based crisis response to outpatient counseling. I've supported people through some of their hardest moments, including untangling patterns that no longer serve them. I can meet you exactly where you are. If that means you just need someone to sit with you and listen to something you've never spoken out loud, celebrate your successes, help you make that appointment you've been putting off because anxiety said it's too much- I'm here for it. My focus today is on millennials, LGBTQ+ folks, attachment and relational patterns, and life transitions. Whatever you're bringing into our first session, there's a good chance I've supported someone through something similar. My goal is simply to create a space where you feel understood and to help you move toward the life you actually want.
My typical client is often in their late twenties through forties, though I work with adults across a range of ages who are asking similar questions about themselves. They're usually at a point in life where the coping strategies that used to work aren't quite cutting it anymore, and they're starting to notice patterns they want to understand. Many are navigating a significant life stage or transition such as starting a new relationship, ending one, becoming a parent, changing careers, moving, or simply reaching an age where they're re-evaluating the beliefs and roles they inherited from their family. Others finally have the space and stability to look inward after years of focusing on everyone else. A good number are also processing what it means to grow up with a parent who couldn't offer the emotional attunement they needed, and are working through the ripple effects that had on their relationships, self-worth, and sense of identity. My ideal client is curious about themselves, even when that curiosity is uncomfortable. They may not have all the language for what they're feeling yet, but they're willing to sit with hard questions. They tend to want a collaborative approach to therapy rather than being told what to do. They're looking for a space that feels genuine where they can be direct about what isn't working in their life and trust that they won't be judged for it. They're also often looking for a therapist who understands identity whether that's related to sexuality, gender, family role, or the quiet identity shifts that come with adulthood. Above all, they want to feel like an active participant in their own growth, not a passive recipient of advice.

I identify as
Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
CBT is based on a simple idea: the way we think about a situation shapes how we feel about it, and how we feel shapes what we do next. It can also work in reverse. Behaviors, thoughts, and feelings working in tandem to control your reality. CBT is about noticing those automatic thoughts, especially the ones that show up so fast we don't even realize we're having them, and asking whether they're actually true, or just the most familiar story we tell ourselves. From there, we look at how those thoughts affect your mood and your behavior, and we practice building more accurate, more balanced ways of thinking that actually match reality. It's about learning to catch the thoughts that aren't serving you and replace them with ones that are actually true and more helpful. In session, this might look like talking through a recent situation together, noticing the thought patterns underneath it, and practicing small, practical shifts you can try out in real life before we meet again.
Gender-affirming therapy
Gender affirming therapy is simply therapy that starts from a place of respect and belief in who you say you are. It means you don't have to spend our sessions explaining or justifying your identity before we can get to the actual work of therapy. For some clients, this looks like having a space to explore questions about gender without pressure or a predetermined outcome. For others, it means processing the impact that family reactions, past relationships, or unsupportive environments have had on their sense of self. And for many, it's simply about having a therapist who treats their name, pronouns, and identity as facts, not topics up for debate. This kind of therapy can also help with the practical and emotional weight that can come with living as your authentic self, like navigating relationships with people who are struggling to understand, managing anxiety around how you're perceived in different spaces, or working through grief connected to time spent not feeling free to be yourself. At the center of it all, gender affirming therapy means you get to set the agenda. Some clients want to focus specifically on identity, and others want to work on anxiety, relationships, or life transitions with a therapist who simply understands their experience without needing it explained. Either way, you're the expert on who you are. My role is to support you in feeling more secure, grounded, and whole in that identity, whatever that process looks like for you.
Schema Therapy
Schema therapy is built on the idea that many of the struggles we carry as adults trace back to needs that weren't fully met earlier in life, things like feeling safe, feeling valued, or feeling truly seen by the people who raised us. When those needs go unmet, we tend to develop deep-rooted patterns, or "schemas," about ourselves and the world that quietly run in the background for years, sometimes decades. These patterns might sound like "I have to be perfect to be loved," "People will eventually leave," or "My needs aren't as important as everyone else's." You may not consciously believe these things, but they show up anyway, in the relationships you choose, the way you react to conflict, or the standards you hold yourself to. Schema therapy works to identify these patterns, understand where they came from, and slowly build new, healthier ways of meeting those original needs now, as an adult, rather than staying stuck in old survival strategies that no longer serve you. This approach blends elements of talk therapy with more experiential techniques, so you might find yourself not just discussing a pattern, but actually working through it in session, sometimes through imagery, role play, or looking at a situation from different points of view. It tends to move a little deeper and slower than some other approaches, since the goal isn't just to manage symptoms, it's to actually shift the belief underneath them. This can be a good fit if you've tried other types of therapy before and felt like you understood your patterns intellectually, but still found yourself repeating them, and you're ready to work on the roots, not just the symptoms.
