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."
Nicole specializes in addiction and mental health, because she has a passion to share the messages and secrets of healing with others. "I personally know the struggles of healing with addiction, mental health, and trauma, and I too have been on the healing journey."
For the people wanting and open to the healing work, Nicole enjoys being the mirror to them, to all their issues, and their problems. "I find reward in seeing people's light shine again when they come out of the deep dark places." ​

I work with clients who may be struggling with anxiety, depression, addiction, and/or trauma. During our initial sessions, we will delve deeply into the issues at hand, and collaborate to create a plan for addressing them in a way that helps you get your life back. Most of my clients see a gradual lifting of symptoms within the first month and sustained improvement thereafter.
