Great to meet you!

As a Black queer therapist, I know what it costs to spend years explaining yourself, to family, to coworkers, even to past therapists. I'm Nicole, and I offer virtual therapy for BIPOC and LGBTQ+ adults and couples in Texas and Florida who are tired of translating their lives. Maybe it's anxiety that never switches off, trauma you've learned to work around, or shame about who you are that was handed to you before you could question it. Here, you can skip the explaining and start with what actually hurts.

My approach to therapy

I use ACT, CBT, and culturally-informed, strengths-based care to help you ease anxiety, heal from what you've carried, and set boundaries that hold. We'll look at the systems around you, not only what's happening inside you. You are not the problem. Let's work on what actually is.

What you can expect from me

In our first session, we’ll get to know each other and explore what brought you here. You can share as much or as little as you’d like—this is your space. I’ll also gather some history and begin to identify goals collaboratively.
