Great to meet you!

Hi, I’m Nicole. I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker. I am dedicated to providing compassionate, empathetic, client centered care. I am mindful that this journey can be challenging. My passion is to create a safe environment where clients can feel heard and understood. I would be honored to be a part of your healing journey.

My approach to therapy

Over the years I have had the privilege of working with (children, teens, adults) I specialize in eating disorders, mental health and trauma. I have worked with clients at various levels of care. Either through individual sessions, couples sessions or family sessions. I’ve had the honor of working with clients as they face different life or personal struggles. I have seen first hand the incredible resilience of these clients and I look forward to supporting others on their journey.

What you can expect from me

We will work together to formulate understanding, utilize positive coping skills, validate experience, and identify goals and values, in a safe and non judgmental environment. I am committed to creating an environment where clients can feel supported, heard, seen, and validated to be able to find empowerment and achieve goals.
