You’ve always been best friends as well as romantic partners. The ultimate teammates. Each other’s person. So when one of you cheated, it devastated you both in ways you could never have imagined. Infidelity has turned your world upside down. You have always loved each other deeply, and while you want to see if you can heal your relationship from this betrayal, you’re not sure if you can. You still feel the love you’ve built over your years together, but now it’s mixed together with grief, rage, shock, disappointment, and confusion. You're ready to work on this with someone who gets it, and you know you can't do this on your own.

My work is rooted in lived experience, deep listening, and a belief that life’s transitions, especially the ones we don’t choose, can become powerful gateways to healing and self-discovery.
For many years, I worked as a Medical and Hospice Social Worker, walking alongside individuals and families during some of the most vulnerable moments of their lives. That work taught me how profoundly the body, mind, and spirit respond to change, loss, and uncertainty—and how essential it is to feel seen and supported during those times.
I am excited to add "Coffee and Chat" a virtual 20 min initial meeting at your convenience.

Schedule instantly through my website link! Hi, I'm Nicole. Relationships are the foundation of our lives. Through the quality of our connections with those we care about, we can feel as though we are thriving or they can leave us feeling isolated and alone. Working to strengthen or rebuild connections with others and with ourselves is extremely important to creating a sense of support and acceptance. If our foundation feels secure and safe, we can then allow ourselves to thrive in other areas of our lives. I have special training in relational therapy and how to strengthen these "systems" and the influence they have on our lives.

Are you hoping to improve your relationship? Are you worried you may be "too much" for your partner? Maybe you want to be a better partner but don't know how to? I am trained in PACT Therapy (Psychobiological Approach to Couple's Therapy), and Gottman Therapy, two specialized approaches to couples therapy. I have found that integrating these two styles of therapy quickly gives couples insight to the causes of their conflict or disconnection, and tangible ways to fix it. This allows each partner to understand themselves and their partner, improving connectedness and relationship satisfaction and decreasing conflict intensity.

Gottman Method Therapists
How does the Gottman method work?
One of the core doctrines of the Gottman method is that negative emotions hurt relationships about five times more than positive emotions help them. Thus, couples require five times more positive interactions than negative interactions with each other. The therapist will guide clients on how to improve communication and understanding of each other to manage conflict and have their emotional needs met. The therapist will also advise couples on how to repair relations with each other when conflict arises, and therefore avoid lasting damage.
Is the Gottman method evidence-based?
Yes, this method is an evidence-based approach to couples therapy. The method is based on more than 40 years of research by Drs. John and Julie Gottman, the psychologists who developed the method. The Gottmans analyzed decades of data to draw conclusions about what types of interactions are likely to lead to specific results, and which interventions are most likely to lead to success. Studies have found that this approach leads to improvements in relationship satisfaction, intimacy, communication skills, and a lower rate of divorce.
How long does the Gottman method take?
The duration of treatment depends on the specific challenges clients face. Sessions are typically 60 to 90 minutes long, and an average course of treatment is around 10 sessions. In some cases, such as for couples dealing with a critical problem, the therapist will suggest an intensive course of treatment, with daily sessions over the first two to four days. Treatment is complete when the couple is satisfied and has met the goals they’ve set, and when the therapist believes they have the skills to continue on their own.
Is the Gottman method effective?
Through the Gottman method, couples can achieve changes that are real and sustainable. This treatment has been used for more than 40 years; the method is supported by empirical research, including randomized controlled trials that have demonstrated effectiveness in improving relationship outcomes for couples. Like any talk therapy, success or failure depends in large part on how committed the clients are to making positive changes and working toward results.
