It can be rather disheartening to expend considerable energy trying to change something and be left with a similar outcome. It is not easy to lead a fulfilling life while being caught in patterns outside of awareness. Psychotherapy gives the opportunity to look inward and ask how a fleeting thought, a dream, or a subtle change may be related to ongoing difficulties. Taking a closer look at something while also being curious during that exploration can open up a greater understanding and lead to meaningful changes.

Therapy can be a helpful way to address challenges in life. My approach to therapy is warm and collaborative. We’ll work together to figure out a process that makes sense for you. My priority is to make sure you feel heard, understood, and accepted. I have a particular interest in working with queer, transgender, and nonbinary children and adults. I’m also invested in working with immigrants, third culture kids, and those exploring questions of cultural identity. I primarily use a psychodynamic approach, however I draw on a variety of modalities depending on a client's needs.

Current openings for weekly EMDR therapy and EMDR Intensives. Do you find yourself feeling hijacked by past painful experiences, no matter what you do? Have you been trying to cope but are still in survival mode? Trauma can leave us feeling broken and disconnected from our true selves. You might not even remember a time when life didn't feel this way. But one thing is for sure: You're ready for some relief. You're ready to let go of what happened to you. And most of all, you're ready to experience a sense of deep and lasting change, with trust in yourself that you can handle any hurdles that come your way.

Therapy provides a space for us to develop a deeper understanding of our internal world, our patterns, and our suffering. Oftentimes, we might find that concepts and emotions left unattended to are keeping us stuck or unsatisfied. Together, we can be curious about your thoughts, feelings, and fantasies and uncover new meaning and ways of coping. I collaborate with patients to work towards a more fulfilling life and a better relationship with the self. I emphasize that you are the expert of your life, and empower you to make the changes you desire.

In my 40 plus years as a psychotherapist, I've heard many times: "I want to be happy, to feel peaceful inside myself, but I can't seem to get there" or "I feel badly telling my friends and family. I worry they get tired of listening to me." There are many reasons people feel stuck in their anxiety, depression, or relationship problems, and feel immobilized by them. Understanding what is causing problems can help you feel less stuck and immobilized, more at peace, and more self-confident.

I specialize in interpersonal growth and connection. I have extensive experience helping people understand themselves better and deepen their relationships with others. In therapy, we will collaborate and address issues that block connections and that lead to feelings of being lost, confused, sad, and fearful. I often treat individuals who are searching for greater fulfillment in their lives and who experience isolation. Together, we will look into what purpose these behaviors serve. We will work to make room for new, effective behaviors that present themselves and that will support connections to a more meaningful life.

The ideal client is someone that is willing to put in the work. You must be willing to participate in your own therapy, as it is not a one-sided transaction. The trick with therapy is that the more willing you are to explore and share about yourself, the more beneficial it is to you. The journey is as important as the destination and the detours provide for some amazing insights. Consistency is also key. Think of therapy as another form of self-care. I provide a safe, comfortable space for people to explore and heal without judgement.

It can be so suffocating and painful to lose control of your addictions, your emotions, or your self worth. That sense of being stuck and unable to change the way you feel is all too common when you're living with trauma, addiction, anxiety, or depression. Unfortunately, when we believe that others don’t understand or accept us, we begin seeing ourselves as ‘different’, and we feel more isolated and alone. Eventually, we disconnect from ourselves and the people around us. Nick will work with you to help you reconnect to the self compassion essential to breaking these cycles.

Why are you looking for a therapist? People usually seek therapy because they feel hurt, dissatisfied or unhappy in their lives. And they generally feel most comfortable with a therapist who is relaxed, accepting, non-judgmental on one hand and experienced, knowledgeable and confident on the other. During my twenty seven years of private practice, I have sought to embody these principles.

What is a life worth living for you? This is ultimately the question we will journey into. Our work might explore your ways of relating to the given "problem", reframe particular internalized narratives, educate you on neurobiological frameworks, and/or encourage you to draw upon your own unique heritage, hopes, and motivations toward your behavioral change and your preferred life. I hope to remind each person of the maxim of narrative therapy: "the problem is the problem; the person is not the problem" (White, 1998). So, what story would you like to write through your actions, values, and life?

As a clinical psychologist, I work with adolescents and adults in individual psychotherapy. My style is warm and interactive and I strive to create an environment where clients feel safe, respected and challenged. I believe that all people have great potential for growth and change; I trust in the process of psychotherapy as an effective way to facilitate that change.
My work focuses on both symptom relief and facilitating insight, recognizing that no two people are alike. I work with clients on issues including depression, anxiety, relationship problems, life transitions, fears, phobias, gender/sexual identity issues and general life stressors.

What’s the difference between a psychologist, a therapist, and a counselor?
Therapists, psychologists, and counselors are all licensed mental health professionals. In the US, psychologists have earned a doctoral degree. The terms “therapist” and “counselor” are used somewhat interchangeably, but generally therapists offer longer-term, mental health care, while counselors offer shorter-term care that may focus on one domain, such as marriage, career, or academic challenges.
What type of therapist is right for me?
Clients should consider factors such as insurance coverage and their primary reason(s) for seeking therapy to determine the type of professional best suited to their needs. Someone struggling with mental health challenges such as depression or anxiety, for example, may wish to seek out a clinical psychologist or therapist, while someone navigating career obstacles or marital upheaval may benefit from seeing a counselor who can offer short-term, targeted support.
Is everyone in the Psychology Today Therapy Directory a licensed therapist?
The Psychology Today directory lists providers who offer legitimate mental health services to the public, including psychologists, psychiatrists, social workers, and counselors. Many have been licensed by the country or state where they practice; providers whose license or primary credential has been verified by Psychology Today are signified by a “Verified” symbol. Some clinicians or organizations provide services for which their state or country does not offer licenses, such as pastoral counseling. They may be selectively included without the “Verified” seal.
What type of therapy is right for me?
The type of therapy best suited to a particular individual depends on several factors, including their primary reason for seeking therapy, their preferred timeline (some therapy types last for a set number of sessions, while others are open-ended), and their personality and preferences—some may prefer a more structured approach. For many individuals, multiple types of therapy could provide a good fit.
Is online therapy cheaper than in-person therapy?
Many therapists charge the same amount for online therapy as they do for in-person therapy—though clients may still find this cost-effective if it cuts down on their transportation costs. Health insurance plans often offer equivalent coverage for online and in-person therapy; indeed, in many places, they are legally required to do so. Text-based or on-demand therapy apps may be cheaper than traditional one-on-one psychotherapy; however, the practice may be less effective and is not likely to be covered by insurance.
