LCSW, 6 years of experience
New to Grow
Hey, I'm Nicole! As a therapist, I’m passionate about creating a safe and supportive space where people can feel seen, understood, and empowered. My style is both straightforward and compassionate. I believe in being honest and clear while also holding space with warmth and empathy. My work is guided by the belief that healing happens through connection, compassion, and practical tools that foster growth. I draw from approaches such as a Christian worldview, CBT, DBT, Narrative Therapy, and Brainspotting, tailoring each session to fit your unique needs. Whether you’re navigating trauma, anxiety, depression, or life transitions, I walk alongside you to help uncover strengths, build coping strategies, and create new possibilities for your story. My goal is to support you in finding both resilience and relief—so you can move toward a life that feels more grounded, meaningful, and authentically yours
You will come and complete the intake the first session. This is where we will get to explore the presenting issues and help us develop a plan moving forward. This session is about an hour long and often feels much more structured than ongoing sessions.
My greatest strength is being able to conceptualize what is being said to me. This helps me understand the overall issues, the catalyst as to why this thing may be showing up in your functioning now and help you work towards the goals you want to achieve. I also use a wide range of approaches to help those who come to me. This allows me to address a wide range of issues with the appropriate care.
Young adults who are looking to address struggles brought on by trauma or ADHD.
In my work I combine psychological approaches (CBT, DBT skills, trauma-informed care, attachment-focused work, and solution-focused/narrative techniques) with clients’ Christian beliefs when that is important to them.
Over the years, I’ve used CBT both as a stand-alone treatment and integrated with other approaches such as trauma-focused care, attachment-based therapy, and experiential methods like Brainspotting.
I often blend DBT skills into other approaches I use, such as CBT, trauma-focused therapy, and Brainspotting, tailoring interventions to each client’s unique needs.
This method is especially powerful for individuals who feel defined by trauma, mental health challenges, or negative labels, as it creates space to separate their identity from their problems and author new, empowering narratives.
