Nicole is a passionate therapist with years of experience treating teens and adults. She works collaboratively and with intention, helping clients move from insight to action in a structured, goal-oriented, and deeply supportive way. Trained in CBT and DBT - some of the most effective therapies - Nicole helps clients identify unhelpful thought and behavioral patterns, build practical coping skills, and take clear steps toward the life they want. She has advanced training in OCD and treats anxiety, depression, panic, phobias, trauma, eating disorders, substance use, relationship distress, burnout, perfectionism, and life transitions.
Nicole also specializes in family, couples, and sex therapy and has completed certified training in the Gottman Method. She helps partners improve communication, rebuild trust, navigate conflict, strengthen intimacy, and feel more connected. Her approach is active and skills-based, grounded in research and tailored to each relationship’s unique dynamics.
With a strong commitment to ongoing training and clinical excellence, Nicole brings depth and maturity to her work. As a registered yoga instructor and avid runner, she values the mind–body connection and thoughtfully integrates mindfulness, movement, and somatic awareness when helpful. An animal lover, she is thrilled to talk about Goose, her ragdoll cat.
