I believe that every person deserves space where they can speak openly and honestly, exploring challenges, core beliefs and vulnerabilities that keep them stuck or in a place of emotional discomfort. I place emphasis on developing a therapeutic relationship, establishing trust to help you reach your individualized goals. My training and success includes working with mental health issues that may be long standing, those struggles that persist unresolved, e.g. anxieties, unrelieved depression, fears that overshadow you, a sense of meaninglessness, persistent conflicts in relationships, and painful results of trauma and loss.
I have specialized training to use several evidence based practices such as Eye Movement Desensitizing and Reprocessing (EMDR), CPT, Prolong Exposure, Dialectical Behavioral Therapy in Action, and SMART Recovery. With all that said I ensure my tool box is full to assist the mental health needs of all my clients.

Nicole is amazing. Great listener, very patient, and had a great deal of expertise in the area I needed. I would highly recommend her.
