Hey, I'm Nicole! I am a trauma therapist providing virtual therapy in Ohio. I hold a Master's of Social Work from The Ohio State University, and am licensed in Ohio as an independent social worker (LISW).
As a queer therapist, I am passionate about working with LGBTQIA+ folks who are navigating trauma, identity exploration, anxiety, depression, and burnout. Many of the people I work with have histories of complex trauma, emotional neglect, harmful relationships, or traumatic loss. Others are looking for a safe, affirming space to unpack internalized shame, reconnect with their bodies, and learn new ways of connecting to themselves and others.
I draw from a variety of evidence based and trauma-informed modalities to best fit your unique needs including: Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), trauma informed CBT (TF-CBT), mindfulness based tools, and somatic practices. Therapy is a partnership - together, we’ll work to untangle old patterns, reconnect with your body and emotions, and build tools that actually make life feel more livable. My hope is to help you find your best and most authentic version of you.
