Great to meet you!

Hi, I’m Dr. Nikki, a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist with a doctorate of psychology. I specialize in working with adults navigating trauma, identity, relationships, and life transitions. I especially enjoy supporting Black, Brown, and LGBTQIA+ clients in healing and reconnecting with their authentic selves.

My approach to therapy

I take a warm, collaborative, and honest approach. I believe therapy should feel like a conversation, not a test. Together, we’ll explore what’s working, what’s not, and build tools that fit your life. I bring a trauma-informed and culturally aware lens to all my work.

What you can expect from me

You can expect to feel seen, supported, and challenged in healthy ways. We’ll work on building self-trust, improving communication, and breaking patterns that no longer serve you. My goal is for you to leave sessions feeling more grounded and more connected to who you really are.
