I've worked with Nick for three years as a colleague, It's wonderful to see his dedication to his fellow veterans and those who currently service. Nick's willingness to meet the client where they are at emotionally is also a great boon to his clients.

Nick and I have worked together for 3 years and I can say he is experienced with treating trauma especially for women. He is able to provide the experience of a safe, appropriate and healthy relationship with a man in a controlled setting post-trauma.

Nick is great therapist that has worked with probably most types of trauma out there but at the same time will transition without a beat to helping with dealing with the stress of moving or going to a job interview.
