Hello there, I'm Nikki. Are you struggling with feelings of self-doubt and confusion, or even deal with the trap of negative self-talk. Do you feel overwhelmed and pulled in a thousand directions? Do you find it hard to fit in, struggle with relationships, balance life, work and your health? No motivation, feelings lonely, and struggling to get out of bed? Do you struggle sleeping too much or barely at all with a constant energy? You deserve a safe space to talk, heal, and get to the root cause of what is weighing you down. Reaching out for help can be scary but is very brave, and I am here to compassionately help walk you through and guide and encourage you on your healing journey. During our sessions we will use psychotherapy and discuss medication management if you find you need that assistance to grow and make the positive changes in life you are seeking. We will incorporate education on mental health issues, medication teaching, and work on building your own tool box to equip you to deal with Anxiety, Depression, ADHD, Mood Disorders, Sleep disorders, Behavioral issues or even just managing the struggles of adjusting to new situations and changes occurring in your life. I can't wait to work together with you to start your new journey.

What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?

You can expect a very unique and tailored session specifically to overcome whatever issue you are battling. Sessions will be based in frequency on how often you feel you need to meet as well as looking at where we stand with getting to a healthy baseline if you are using medications. When you leave my goal is that you will walk away feeling empowered to start taking control of decisions, being better equipped to manage time, stress and overwhelm. We will also work on having a variety of coping skills to use when problems arise and setting goals, boundaries, and schedules to give you back the power needed to make positive changes while being encouraged every step.

What treatment methods and tools do you utilize?

Here in my office I utilize several tools to help us reach your goals. I always try to bring the best evidenced-based treatments whether it be through medication therapy, lab testing with interpretation to rule out physical causes, the use of gene sight testing to have a guided plan for medication treatment best suited for the individual or the use of different psychotherapy modalities. Some therapies used are CBT and DBT skills, psycho-education, talk therapy, journal use and mood/symptom tracking, and art/play therapy.

Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.

Some of my biggest strengths come from overcoming the traumas and life situations I myself have encountered, and that has given me extreme empathy and compassion for people suffering from traumatic experiences and life changing situations. I work well with clients who are struggling with depression and anxiety, who may even feel hopeless and suicidal. I have a huge heart for children and adolescents and tend to work well and connect quickly with them. Another strength of mine is connecting with and supporting people from all backgrounds and walks of life as we have all came from or through something, so I do so with an open mind and heart with no judgement. You will always be able to count on support through every step during the journey to your wellness while working with me here.
