Hi! I’m Nic. If you need support navigating trauma, anxiety, depression, perfectionism, people pleasing, or relationship issues like trouble with communication, intimacy or infidelity, I am here to help. I also specialize in supporting LGBTQ+ clients, writers, artists and creatives facing blocks or partnership struggles, and those questioning or leaving high control groups or communities. I meet clients where they are, working at a pace that feels safe and supportive. My goal is to help you understand why unhelpful patterns keep you stuck, and teach you practical tools to create lasting, meaningful change in your life.
I integrate post-modern approaches, somatic techniques, and Internal Family Systems (IFS) within a trauma-informed, anti-oppressive framework. My practice is sex and kink positive, affirming of poly/CNM relationships, neurodiversity, and Health at Every Size (HAES). I’m trained in EMDR from EMDRIA, and member of AASECT and WPATH.
Therapy should be accessible. I offer options for in-person and virtual care, and a free virtual consultation to see if we’re a good fit—no pressure, no commitment. Taking the first step is brave, and I’m here to support you.
