Relationships can be so stressful. Finding common ground on parenting or values/beliefs at times feels impossible. A negative spiral begins where you don’t talk as much…you shut down, you yell, or maybe you just give up and walk away. You might begin to feel anxious or depressed and don’t know what else you can do to make this better for you and your family. Learning to communicate effectively and finding balance in your relationship can take work. I can help you and/or your partner learn how to improve communication, balance home/work responsibilities, and strengthen parenting strategies.

From the outside, you look completely put together and on-top of it: showing up for work, parenting, answering emails, doing “all the things.” But inside, you’re exhausted. You’re constantly overthinking, second-guessing, and running on fumes. You might wonder if ADHD or Autism is part of the picture or if you’re just burned out from juggling too much for too long. You don't have to struggle alone.

I provide EMDR intensive therapy for healthcare professionals who need focused, efficient trauma processing.
You spend your days holding steady in high-pressure situations, caring for others while pushing your own reactions aside. Over time, repeated exposure to medical crises, loss, emergencies, or personal trauma lingers in ways that don’t easily switch off. Triggers surface without warning, intrusive memories break through your focus, and your nervous system stays on high alert even during moments meant for rest. It’s no wonder you’re emotionally overwhelmed, irritable, disconnected, and constantly bracing for what comes next. Unfortunately, no amount of training or resilience can keep these experiences from following you home.

Trained and certified in EMDR; Trauma Conscious Yoga 250 hr, Breathwork; IFS (Internal Family Systems), Intro to Somatic experiencing and Polyvagal Interventions.
Nicole is a firm believer that trauma and addiction go hand and hand. "It too effects our bodies. A lot of times clients are unaware of that early in their recovery, and they have been using substances to cope for years. I am driven to teach my clients about the mind body connection by the teaching and exploring of somatics, negative thoughts, unconventional coping skills, i.e., such as breathworks, and by exploring safety and its meaning within themselves. Seeing other people's light shine again and finding themselves is the fuel to why I do this healing work."

EMDR Therapists
Who is EMDR for?
EMDR was initially developed as a treatment for individuals with Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), for whom memories of a deeply distressing experience can be inadvertently triggered by random everyday events. The procedure has since been applied in the treatment of many other conditions. For example, it is used by some therapists to treat anxiety disorders including panic and phobias, depression, dissociative disorders, eating disorders, obsessive-compulsive disorders, and some personality disorders. It is suitable for adolescents and adults.
Why do people need EMDR?
People need EMDR as a way to manage distressing memories that in some way hamper the ability to function in the present. The procedure is believed to target the way memories are stored in the brain. Evidence indicates that past disturbing experiences cause ongoing distress because they were not adequately processed, and when such memories are triggered in the present, they are accompanied by all the emotions, thoughts, and physical sensations as the initial experience.
What problems does EMDR treat?
First and foremost, EMDR is intended as a treatment for PTSD, to defuse distressing memories that intrude on and impair everyday functioning. It is also often used to help those who are subject to panic attacks, phobias, and other forms of anxiety. In addition, EMDR has been used to treat individuals with depression, eating disorders, and personality disorders.
What happens in EMDR therapy?
First the therapist takes an individual’s history, and then the therapist and client decide which distressing experience(s) will be the target(s) of the exercise, delivered via a side-to-side visual stimulus requiring lateral eye movements. The client will be asked to activate thoughts, feelings, and any body sensations related to the troubling experience. The eye movements are said to reduce the emotional charge of the memory, so that the experience can then be safely discussed with the therapist and digested, minimizing its ability to trigger anxiety.
