My journey stems from my own story of resilience in the face of hardships. I became a therapist because I have always wanted to help people through some of their darkest hours. Being exposed to some dark hours myself, I know that it is difficult to do it alone. When you have someone to confide in, assist you through the hard times, and just let you know that you are not alone, makes a difference.

My therapeutic approach includes CBT, Person-Centered Therapy, Relational Therapy, DBT, Motivational Interviewing, SFT, EMT, Gestalt, and just speaking like a human being. I offer a compassionate, trauma-informed space where you can feel safe, seen, and supported. My approach is relational and personalized—we'll explore your story together, build coping tools, and move toward healing with curiosity, courage, and care.

Therapy with me is real, down-to-earth, and never boring. I mix honesty, humor, and heart to make the process comfortable. I help adults manage emotions, build confidence, and tackle life's challenges with tools that work. Think of it as a safe space to be yourself, grow, and maybe laugh along the way.

Hello,

I'm Nick, and I'm delighted to extend a warm welcome to you. I'm committed to helping you find a path to better emotional well-being and personal growth.

Life can throw its curveballs, and it's natural to feel a bit lost at times. As a licensed therapist, my goal is to provide you with a safe space where you can explore your thoughts and feelings. I believe in the potential for positive change that exists within all of us.

I don't have a physical office space at this time. I can see clients virtually, or I can come to your home or office.

Please reach out to me at (319) 481-8505 or [email protected] for any questions!
