About me

Hello, my name is Nicole! Thank you for taking the time to learn more about me and what I do ! I am a licensed psychotherapist practicing in Florida. I love what I do and I am honored to have the opportunity to serve my community.I work with a variety of clients from ages 5-65 both in person and via telehealth; depending on client preference. I provide individual, couples and family therapy. I like to be very client centered in my approach; and combine techniques to meet you where you are, and work with you in a way that works for you. I tailor my approach specifically for you and your specific goals for our work together. What is important for you at the current moment, is where we will start :) In addition to a client centered approach, I also like to look at the entire person, and their lifestyle to take a more holistic approach to healing. I often combine ancient/traditional practices with modern psychotherapy for those clients who are open to it. Our bodies, minds and spirits are all connected - so it can be helpful to focus on all areas to create healing on all levels and help create the best quality of life possible for each unique individual.

Get to know me

In our first session together, here's what you can expect

I believe that the therapeutic relationship is essential to the effectiveness of therapy. Developing a relationship of trust and openness as well as a safe and non-judgemental space is my first goal with any client :) IThat being said, you can expect to begin to develop a therapeutic relationship with me in our first session. i am open to answering any questions you may have about me or my approach; and I will ask questions to better understand what you wish to work on. We may also explore any relevant background information, and information about you and your daily life as well as what your goals for therapy are. From there, we will explore our individualized plan for our work together.

The biggest strengths that I bring into our sessions

As a provider, I like to be very client centered in my work. I believe my strength lies in being able to see each unique individual and situation as it is, and identify the most helpful approach. Of course, always aligning my approach with the goals and preferences of the client. Another strength I value in my work is my passion for holistic healing ; and ability to combine traditional practices from early times into a modern world with modern therapy practices.

The clients I'm best positioned to serve

I am happy to serve clients from all walks of life. I work with clients from ages 5-75. The clients I work best with are those who are open to growth and 'doing the work' to help them process emotions effectively as well as find coping skills that work for them to create habits that help them feel their best. Trusting in the process is important and makes our work together more impactful.

My treatment methods

Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)

Cognitive behavioral therapy is a treatment method for anxiety and depression to help recognize disempowering thoughts and self talk and become aware of those patterns to consciously change your cognition and automatic thinking; which can lead to a decrease in anxiety and depression symptoms .

Couples Counseling

I use a variety of methods to address different issues within couples or families. This is always developed and tailored to your specific goals as a couple .

Trauma Informed Care

Working with individuals who have experienced trauma involves an extra level of sensitivity and understanding. When processing trauma, therapists can work with clients to rewrite the brains automatic response to situations; likely caused by past trauma. Additionally, processing trauma is important and can be done within sessions after developing a strong therapeutic relationship.

Mindfulness-Based Therapy

Using mindfulness such as meditation and movement can help process difficult emotions, become more in touch with our underlying emotions as well as decrease symptoms of anxiety or depression.

Family Therapy

Working with families with a variety of needs allows a therapist to understand subconscious family dynamics that can make it challenging to have peaceful relationships. Using skills and communication tactics , therapy can help bring balance to families.
