Great to meet you!

Hi! My name is Nicole & I am committed to improving the lives of others through the therapeutic process. I received my Master's in Child Development in 2010 and received my Master's in Social Work in 2016. I have over 15 years of experience working with individuals, children and families as a dedicated Social Worker. I believe that when individuals are given the space to fully express themselves and have a supportive therapist, they can discover the positive changes they are looking for.

My approach to therapy

I am a warm, compassionate therapist that will work with you to set goals, solve problems, and explore emotions. During therapy it is important to explore the hard stuff, but it can also be an enjoyable experience too.

I take a client-centered approach to therapy & realize that individuals should be a part of their own therapeutic journey. In most cases I use Soultion Focused Therapy or Cognitive Behavioral Therapy.

What you can expect from me

I am ready to meet you where you are in your therapy journey and help guide you toward positive mental health. I'm very excited to begin working with you.
