Nicole works with clients on their relationships, intimacy, sexuality, dating, attachment styles, and holistic & alternative health. She helps clients work on boundary issues, differing attachment styles, codependency, feeling comfortable in their skin, and exploring desires. She also works with relationship partners (couples, thruples, polycules, etc.) on communicating needs, building emotional intimacy, exploring sexuality, and generally improving relationship health. Nicole can help guide you and provide tools to navigate challenging situations.
Her approach with clients emphasizes positive psychology and a bit of existentialism, but is ultimately person-centered, because there is no one-size fits all cookie cutter approach! Nicole aims to provide a safe environment for open communication throughout therapy. She is an open book, incredibly non-judgmental, and always has a great sense of humor to add
Whether you’re interested in addressing getting back into the dating world, uncovering and rewiring old patterns that keep getting in your way, or even just needing an accountability partner, you are welcome with Nicole. Nicole aims to provide a safe environment for open communication throughout therapy. Book your 15-min free consult today!
