Hello, my name is Nicole & I am a Licensed Professional Counselor with a passion for guiding others as they navigate the challenges of life, whatever they may be! My experience in working with diverse populations throughout the lifespan has included working with those who suffer from anxiety, depression, grief & loss, relationship difficulties, as well as life threatening and/or chronic illnesses, with a special interest in treating those facing a cancer diagnosis for themselves or a loved one. As a survivor, I understand first-hand the hardships & grief as well as the hope & perseverance needed to accept & overcome.
Whether you are struggling with recent change or feeling stuck in place, together we can explore goals, barriers, realistic expectations & strengths surrounding your desired outcomes! Prior to my work as a clinical therapist, my experience working with those experiencing homelessness, often involved navigating loss, trauma & the rebuilding of one's life.
I use an integrative approach, meeting each client where they are at. My goal in working with each client is to collaboratively tailor treatment plans using an array of techniques including a CBT, DBT, psychoanalytic & an existential approach. I aim to foster a safe space where all clients can comfortably heal & work towards a hopeful & healthy future.
