Great to meet you!

I'm Nicole, a Licensed Professional Counselor with a Master's in Counseling. I work with adults navigating life transitions, stress, self image, and the changes that come with parenting and postpartum. My goal is to help you hear yourself again, even when everything feels loud.

My approach to therapy

I'm direct and warm, and I listen intuitively, picking up on what's underneath what you're saying. I also use humor along the way, therapy doesn't have to feel heavy the whole time to be effective. I validate what you're going through and gently challenge blind spots keeping you stuck, so we can move toward clarity, peace, and real acceptance.

What you can expect from me

Our first session is mostly about getting to know you, the whole picture of who you are, not just what brought you in. We'll get clear on what you actually want from therapy, not what you think you should want, and build small steps toward it from there. It's normal to feel nervous, we'll go at your pace.
