I believe life can be challenging enough as is, without having to navigate it with anxiety, depression and racing thoughts. I believe reaching out for help, or just someone to talk to, is the most important thing you can do. Life is stressful, life is messy and sometimes having someone to talk to can help clear your head. Please don’t overthink things, don’t spend hours looking for the “perfect therapist, and over analyze the therapy process. I’m here to help, just reach out that’s the first step!

Hi, my name is Nicole. I want to first say healing is a journey, the bravest thing you can do. It can be full of ups and downs, and look completely different across life. I work with clients facing a range of issues including the impacts of trauma, abuse, toxic stress, bullying, workplace abuse, the Trouble Teen Industry, institutional betrayal, addiction, and relational wounds. We start exactly where you are. In my practice, I help you to realize that fully and reach your goals to achieve the life you want.

Families affected by addiction are also encouraged.
To move confidently into our future, we must resolve the past while remaining grounded in the present. Everyone is capable recreating their lives and expanding upon their healing, but this process often requires deeper insight into who we are, what we’ve been through, and what beliefs we’ve accumulated because of these experiences. I’m here to help you manage the challenges that come with tackling a new life in recovery, guide awareness into what initiated the destructive cycle to begin with, and support you to reach new goals beyond just getting sober.

Many of the people I support are navigating anxiety, body image concerns and weight stigma, shame, and recovering from the harm of non-affirming community or family.
I am a decolonization-minded therapist that integrates parts work (Internal Family Systems), EMDR (a type of trauma therapy), somatic work, and Body Trust to help you heal trauma and bridge a deeper, more compassionate connection with yourself. With lots of support, we’ll work to restore communication with the parts of you that have been avoided or left out.

You’re probably here because you’ve been reading therapist profiles thinking, “Okay, but which one of you is actually going to get me?” Makes sense. You don’t want someone who talks at you, slaps a label on you in the first ten minutes, or hands you a worksheet and calls it therapy. You want a space where you can say the real stuff out loud, the messy, awkward, maybe-even-embarrassing parts, without feeling judged. You’re not broken. You’re just likely overwhelmed, anxious, stuck in your head, or exhausted by the same patterns showing up again and again. You want things to make sense and to feel better in a way that actually lasts.

Austinites seek me out to discuss a number of life issues such as depression and anxiety, relationships, intimacy & commitment, sexual orientation & gender identity, family challenges & conflict resolution, coping with grief and loss, trauma, compulsive & addictive behaviors, stress & anger management, and parenting.
For over 38 years, I've created collaborative conversations with clients that generate new possibilities for change. I use a postmodern approach and strive to understand how clients make meaning of themselves, others, and the world around them. I tend to be active in those conversations - not passive - and I am respectful and goal-oriented. I also enjoy writing, providing consultation to other professionals, and speaking to audiences about love, dating, and relationships.

You may find it difficult to offer yourself kindness in the same way you would towards a friend or family member.
This means that, with a collaborative approach, we will incorporate mindfulness and self-compassion exercises to help you create a more safe and kind environment in your mind and body. I know what it’s like to feel overwhelmed by life’s challenges and the fear of being judged.

I provide primarily brief, strengths based, solution focused therapy to individuals, couples and families with a focus on teenagers and transition aged youth.
I have spent the last several decades here in Austin working in direct service, mostly in residential settings and primarily with youth ageing out of the foster care system. I work best with people who are navigating challenges and working to improve overall functioning. I tend to take a holistic approach- I want to learn who you are, all aspects of where you are, and most importantly, where you want to go.

I enjoy working with children, adults, couples and families who are seeking support with relationships, managing emotion, co-parenting and navigating the obstacles of everyday life.
I use a combination of play therapy and skill-building for children ages 4 through 11 years old. For preteens and adolescents, I draw from cognitive behavioral and insight-oriented therapies that focus on identity development, value clarification, emotional regulation, and negotiating needs and wants effectively.

This real-life experience lends another set of skills many of my clients find valuable in processing through their own personal/ family experiences.
I love helping people find their way, whether through traumatic experiences from the past or through current life stressors. For adolescents and adults who have experienced emotional trauma, I utilize trauma-focused approaches, including EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing). There are a variety of approaches to therapy and together, we will explore which would be most beneficial to you as the client. I find that most people really enjoy the therapeutic experience and come out of it more self-assured and confident.
