I am an LGBT identifying therapist. I have been working in the mental health field for over two years in residential and community mental health settings. Which has provided me with the experience of working with a wide variety of clients.
I work with individuals who are struggling with anxiety, depression, trauma, sexual orientation and gender identity concerns.
Hey, I’m Niki — I’m a therapist who loves working with people in all stages of recovery, whether you’re newly sober, years into it, or simply trying to reconnect with yourself after major life changes. I help adults explore behavioral patterns, long-term sobriety, self-discovery, and identity as they figure out who they are beyond the challenges they’ve faced.
I know from both personal and professional experience that healing isn’t linear. As a mom and someone who’s faced her own mental health and substance use challenges, I bring understanding, honesty, and zero judgment to our sessions. My goal is to create a space where you can show up exactly as you are — no pressure, no pretense.
I am an LPC in Virginia and LMHC-S in Florida my background in practice consists of treating adolescents, families, children in at risk populations and treating adults with depression and anxiety. I take a holistic approach to counseling and meet the client where they are at. I include CBT and solution-focused techniques in order to assist clients dealing with a variety of issues. I also have a background in TF-CBT informed therapy and utilize this as needed.
I bring eight years of prior experience as an adult and pediatric emergency room nurse. My background in acute care has given me a strong foundation in crisis intervention, compassionate listening, and evidence-based clinical judgment.
I was born in Los Angeles, spent 15 years living in Hawaii, and now reside in Miami, Florida. My diverse life experiences — including traveling to 23 countries — have shaped my cultural awareness and deep respect for the unique perspectives of every individual I serve.
I believe that mental wellness involves treating the whole person, not just their symptoms. My goal is to create a supportive, collaborative environment where you feel heard, empowered, and equipped to build meaningful, lasting change in your life.
