I am a Marriage Family Therapist helping people conceptualize their current and ongoing challenges. My specialty is empowering individuals, families, and groups, to prevent and alleviate crisis, change, or stress. I apply a strength-based therapeutic approach that enables individuals to function more effectively to experience a healthier and more satisfying state of well-being.
What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?
Nicole has an interactive strength-based therapeutic approach and practices relational psychotherapy by assisting individuals to conceptualize their own attachment style, gain insight, and discover other opportunities to experience a satisfying quality of life.
What treatment methods and tools do you utilize?
I focus on implementing a multi-faceted approach to the treatment process. I use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help recognize when thoughts are troublesome and modify problematic patterns of behavior. I also incorporate Psychodynamic and Mindfulness therapy to help work towards acceptance by managing feelings and emotions. Solution-Focused Therapy may also be implemented along with a client-centered approach in which one can expect to expand insight and self-awareness, strengthen self-worth and improve overall self-reliance.
Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.
I focus only on individual therapy and value patience and compassion while working alongside you during this journey toward healing. Discovering who you are can be the most liberating experience and lead to a fulfilling life. Let’s work together to help you achieve your goals!
