I am dedicated to working with clients who are struggling with anxiety, depression, trauma, or stress in their lives.

During more than 14 years of clinical practice, my style has been strengths-based and empathetic, with a splash of warm-hearted humor.

My best guess is you’re here checking out potential therapists because you’re feeling a bit stuck; you’re ready for something new, or maybe you’re just sick and tired of feeling sick and tired. There are infinite reasons why individuals might seek out counseling and therapy services.  However, there is often a thread of “feeling stuck” or a sense of discomfort as a response to a stressful situation. Perhaps you are going through a difficult time in your life or maybe you’ve noticed a pattern of behavior that you would like to explore further.  Whatever the reason, I’m here to help.

Hello, I'm Nicole. Are you struggling to balance the many different areas in your life? Do you feel overwhelmed and discouraged? Are hardships having a negative impact on your life and well-being?

Wanting change can be difficult and you are taking your first steps to make changes. I want to be able to help you define and connect or reconnect to your values in order improve the overall quality of your life. We will work to understand what your struggle is, take an inventory of your values and begin to look at the barriers that are interfering with your goals. The pain you may be going through currently or have experienced may have led to a deeper level of suffering, and I want you to know that you do not have to suffer.

I am currently accepting patients who need counseling for couples support, trauma support, and are wanting either short term or on-going support for depression and anxiety. My background as a counselor is in Lifespan development, which includes extensive experience working with children, adolescents and adults. For the past 25 years, I have been assessing, diagnosing and helping people live better lives by providing tools to cultivate the lives they want to create. I provide a warm, comfortable space for my clients to express their challenges and explore options that they are willing to try to create change.

A wise person in my life once said, "You cannot feel the greatest joys in life, if you have not experienced the depths of sadness." Ironically, it is when life hurts the most we have the greatest capacity of growth. If you are working through life transitions, grappling with questions about identity and purpose, experiencing relationship issues or emotional difficulties, I can help. I will work collaboratively with you to draw upon your strengths and experience in order to grow. My ability to listen and connect will enable you to feel safe enough to explore what brought you to counseling.
