My clients are often suffering from anxiety, depression, and struggles with self-worth. Building resiliency and distress tolerance are the first steps, increasing comfort with uncomfortable emotions and body signals. Once a client has skills to self-soothe, we can start digging deeper into issues of trauma, attachment wounds, and injuries stemming from family of origin. Identifying and challenging self-limiting beliefs, building self-love through exploration, discovery, and radical acceptance of self are some of the things we may work on.

“The only way around is through” (Robert Frost). Finding your way through mental health struggles can be incredibly tough, but you don't have to face it alone.

Life can be a beautiful, enriching journey, but it also can be wrought with hardship, loss, and pain. Being seen and feeling heard by a safe person who cares can be extremely powerful and healing. I believe in building a relationship with my clients where they feel safe and accepted, yet challenged to grow.

Do you find yourself stuck with thoughts like, “It’s okay if other people make mistakes, but not me,” or questions like, “Am I enough..?” These painful stories we tell ourselves often stem from our histories and experiences, and continue to play out in our lives and relationships. They affect how we feel able to show up in the world. My goal as a therapist is help you understand, explore, and challenge these stories and thought patterns, and support you as you create and practice alternatives that are empowering and authentic to you.

In working with clients, I hope to help individual's discover their uniqueness. However, over my 18 years of working with people as a psychologist, I have also come to appreciate the many similarities inherent in being a human being. Often people come to therapy because they feel, "Something is wrong with me." I have found it to be healing when a patient realizes, "Oh, that's a normal response," given what has happened. They can then be open to learn ways to work with their symptoms, to work on their goals, and to begin living a satisfying life with the ability to find the inherent joys, along with the challenges, in life.

I have a natural rapport with sci-fi/fantasy nerds. I work with individuals struggling with life transitions, lack of self-esteem, C-PTSD, PMDD, and men's issues.

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.
