Currently accepting new clients via teletherapy. Sometimes life throws some really tough and painful things our way. Then, sometimes, we don’t even know why things feel as hard as they do but all of the sudden we notice that even the little things feel like too much. We may know that something in our lives needs to change but we either don’t know what it is or we just don’t know where to start to make it happen. The therapeutic environment is designed to be an unbiased and safe space where you can be authentically you and receive the support you need in order to facilitate healing and growth.

There is space being held for you! If you are on a healing journey; are feeling stuck in the grasp of anxiety and/or depression; at a crossroads in your life; grieving a loss; navigating an experience with cancer/illness; carrying caregiver burden, I welcome you to pause here. We sometimes lose our spark and struggle to catch our breath as the mental, emotional, and physical waves crash over us. Together we can bring out your strengths that may feel lost in this moment and add new tools to take on these challenges in different ways.

My counseling philosophy is a simple one. I fully and completely believe in the power and process of therapy. I have seen it work; radically changing lives and restoring relationships. I am honored that people allow me into their world to offer knowledge, understanding, and guidance. I am passionate about what I do, and I am committed to help my clients work through their issues and feel better in their lives. I am trained in CBT, DBT , and EMDR and I practice from a mind-body perspective utilizing holistic philosophies like mindfulness with a focus on overall wellness.

I work with Adults, Young Adults, Adolescents and Couples on a wide range of issues and difficulties. Some specific interests include anxiety and depression, self -esteem, work-life balance, regulating emotions, relationship and communication problems, divorce, life transitions, grief, and parenting issues. I value a collaborative environment to develop new insights and strategies to manage stressors, process emotions, enhance strengths and implement effective life changes. Difficulties processing emotions and a lack of coping skills can keep people feeling 'stuck' and be a barrier to experiencing growth and joy in life.

Hi, I’m Nicolette! My career as a counselor includes experience serving children, adolescents, and adults in a variety of mental health settings. I believe in the transformative power of the therapeutic relationship to assist clients in meeting life challenges and creating the change they seek. In my role as a counselor, I’m dedicated to supporting clients in the therapeutic process of achieving their goals. I bring unconditional positive regard, empathic listening, and the ability to create a safe space in counseling sessions.

The best gift you can give yourself is a better understanding of who you are and how you want to create a genuine and authentic existence. My style is one of warmth and empathy with therapeutic interventions to help you attain your treatment goals.
