Great to meet you!

Life is full of joys and sorrows, and none of us should have to get through it alone. I'm Nikki, a Michigan therapist specializing in perinatal and postpartum care, tweens, adolescents, and young adults. I see therapy as an essential part of mind-body-spirit wellbeing. I'd love to hear from you.

My approach to therapy

It is my honor, joy, and privilege to walk alongside people before, during, and after they embark on some of life's most meaningful journeys. My work centers on perinatal and postpartum women and parents, tweens, adolescents, and young adults navigating mood, identity, and the pressures of growing up. I specialize in mood and adjustment disorders, OCD, ADHD, postpartum adjustment, some eating disorders, and I love working with high achievers managing the weight of ambition alongside their emotional health. I bring a holistic, mind-body-spirit lens to every session, and I believe therapy and modern medicine work best hand in hand.

What you can expect from me

Our first session is a conversation, not an evaluation. I'll ask about what brings you in and what you hope to find on the other side. You'll have space to ask your own questions too. I believe in the healing power of therapy, and by the end of our first session, my goal is for you to feel heard and clear on what we're working toward together.
