About me

I commend you for having taken the first step towards greater well-being. As a therapist, I appreciate the strength and courage it takes to reach out for help. I also understand how overwhelming life can feel. We cope as best we can, yet find ourselves at times feeling anxious, stressed, depressed, stuck, irritable, confused, or disconnected. As we struggle with these feelings, we may develop addictions, relationship issues, dissatisfaction, or other issues that prevent us from living the life we long for.

The encouraging news is that counseling truly can help. I wholeheartedly trust the therapeutic process and, having provided mental health services for 10 years, I’ve seen remarkable growth and change in the clients with whom I’ve been privileged to work. Counseling provides a safe and nurturing environment for you to connect more deeply with yourself, identify what’s working and let go of what’s no longer serving you, and ultimately move towards greater health in a more balanced and fulfilled life. I believe we all have the capacity to heal and grow, but we can’t do it alone.

Through a kind, non-judgmental, and skilled approach, I can help you navigate through suffering and learn new skills to cope with symptoms, stress, and life transitions. We will clarify your values and goals and strengthen your capacity to tolerate uncertainty and accept what you don’t have control over. I will support and respect you through this process and we will work at a pace that feels comfortable for you.

My background includes working with clients in in a variety of settings including residential treatment homes, an outpatient clinic, a college counseling center, and a 24/7 crisis phone line. I hold an M.A. in Counseling Psychology and a B.A. in Psychology. I have been trained in and employ a variety of evidence-based therapeutic methods including CBT, DBT, Mindfulness-based interventions, Motivational Interviewing, and Solution-Focused therapy. I will thoughtfully tailor my approach to fit your unique needs and personality.

I look forward to connecting with you and supporting you on your journey!

Nicki is really nice, helpful and understanding and she never judges me. I feel like I can tell her anything. She definitely acknowledges my feelings.

I am very impressed and happy with Nicki as an online counselor. She seems to pick up on what I am feeling and thinking and is very intuitive. Nicki is also very professional and I have had no problem being totally honest with her. I never feel judged. I am very pleased with my whole experience. Thank you!
