Hi there. Thanks for stopping to read my blurb. My name is Nikki and I have worked in the Community Mental Health field for over 20 years. I have had the pleasure of working with many types of people in various stages of need- from case management to Crisis Intervention and support. I feel honored that people have let me into their lives and be witness to such vulnerable parts. I'm invested in working with people and meeting them where they are at. I believe that people can do incredible things and that at times we all need some support, guidance and someone to talk and process with- I'd love the chance to be that person.
