I enjoy working with adults and young adults who are experiencing overwhelm, intrusive/unwanted thoughts, repetitive behaviors, worry, self-doubt, perfectionism and stress due to life transitions. I have many adults in my practice who are working to find balance in their close relationships and making changes toward a more fulfilling life. I have specialized training and expertise in treating OCD, skin picking/hair pulling (aka "BFRBs") and supporting parents of adult children with anxiety disorders.

Many of the individuals I work with come to therapy feeling overwhelmed, disconnected, or unsure of how to move forward. They may be struggling with depression, anxiety, trauma, low self-esteem, or navigating major life transitions while trying to make sense of their inner experiences. I’m especially passionate about working with Veterans, first responders, young adults, and men—particularly those who find it difficult to open up or ask for help. As a combat veteran, I bring both personal understanding and professional insight to this work, creating a space where clients can feel seen, understood, and supported.

I believe in the healing power of a caring safe relationship. We create a safe space where you can feel your feelings without worrying about how they will affect others, where you can learn skills for coping with painful emotions and hard circumstances, and where together we make a plan so you can feel like yourself again. While I tailor what I do in counseling to your needs and goals, my goal is for you to feel more capable of living the life you want as a result of our time together.

I seek to provide a warm environment of compassion, acceptance, kindness and candor in my sessions.
Often, seeking guidance from an unbiased and outside source can be a vital key to personal progression. As a therapist, I want to maintain an open and honest dialogue with my clients that assists them in creating positive change in their marriages, families and individual lives. Having someone hold you accountable, as you take the necessary steps to correct unhealthy patterns, can be crucial to success. Too often, individuals choose to remain victims of their circumstances, rather than proactively changing their mindset, and becoming victors. I seek to empower clients through uncovering what may be hindering their growth.

There is no such thing as an ideal client. That is too boring. The way I do therapy is relaxed. I am not your average therapist, and I am not going to be like, "How does that make you feel?" but I am going to say, "What up! How are we doing today?" I never stop learning, and when you have me as a therapist, you will see that you will fall back in love with learning. Overall, I am just honored you allowed me to help you! Also, the best way to reach me is to Email over calling due to normally being in session, and I want to respond to you as quickly as possible!

Hi, I'm Nicole! It can feel so hard to simply feel okay, I get it. I'd like to take a moment to recognize survival mode-it's a sign your body and your brain are working to protect you. It's how you have survived. You're not crazy, lazy, or too much. The good news is that you don't have to stay stuck in survival mode. I work with people who are done pretending they’re fine. The ones who want to feel like themselves again—or maybe meet themselves for the first time. I’m not here to “fix” you. I’m here to help you untangle the mess, feel your feelings without drowning in them, and reconnect with the parts of you that deserve a voice.

I use Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help clients understand how they can overcome their suffering and live into what is most important for them.
Are you unhappy with where you in life or who you are in general? Maybe you find yourself feeling too anxious to pursue your next personal or career goal. Maybe you feel like you are too depressed to find the motivation to take the next steps.

They’re craving a space where they can be genuine, slow down, breathe, move if needed, and learn skills they can actually use in daily life. They want therapy that feels real, supportive, and human.
