Areas of expertise

• Therapy for adults and young adults navigating life challenges

• Anxiety and stress management

• Emotional regulation and coping skills

• Support through life transitions

• Building self-understanding and connection

In her work, Nicole focuses on connection, presence, and helping you feel comfortable bringing your whole self into the room. She believes therapy is most helpful when it’s tailored to your pace, your goals, and what matters most to you. Together, you’ll explore patterns in thinking and behavior, reflect on emotional responses, and develop practical tools that help foster balance and confidence.

Therapeutic approach

Nicole’s therapeutic style is grounded in empathy, curiosity, and collaboration. She aims to hold space for honest exploration and growth, creating an environment where clients feel respected, understood, and free to be themselves. She strives to make therapy feel real, present, and meaningful — not overly formal or rigid.
