Great to meet you!

If you're carrying anxiety, depression, or the weight of past experiences, you don't have to

sort through it alone. I'm Nicole, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in New Jersey, and I've

spent my career working alongside children, teens, and young adults in schools,

outpatient settings, and hospitals. I believe that real change starts with feeling genuinely

heard. If you're ready to take that first step, I'd love to connect.

My approach to therapy

I am here to help you build effective coping skills, increase emotional regulation, and promote overall well-being. Some evidence based interventions I may utilize are Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Trauma Focused-CBT, Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Psychodynamic Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and Interpersonal Psychotherapy (IPT). I work collaboratively with each client, meeting you where you are and tailoring the therapy to suit your unique needs and goals.

What you can expect from me

Our first session is a chance to slow down and just talk. You won't be handed a form or

asked to have everything figured out. I'll ask about what's been on your mind and what

brought you here, and we'll start mapping out what you'd like to work on together. By the

end, most people tell me they already feel a little lighter just from being honest about how

they're really doing.
