Hello! My name is Nicole and I've worked with clients for over 20 years in a variety of settings. My philosophy is that counseling is something everyone can utilize throughout life for a multitude of reasons. I hope that through the process we will build a strong relationship and work together to set and meet goals. It is through this treatment process where we learn about your unique personal characteristics, emotional needs, life experiences, thoughts, beliefs, feelings, and personal challenges. I believe it is crucial to provide a comfortable, confidential, and professional environment.

I work with both couples and individuals. I have experience in helping clients with depression, stress/anxiety, self worth/love/acceptance, relationship issues, family conflicts, parenting, vocational stress, among other daily life stressors. Most of my clients define their reason for coming to therapy as simply wanting something more from life and relationships. Often having trouble getting past thoughts and emotions that prevent them from moving forward. We will work together to get to the core of your troubling thoughts, emotions and behaviors. This allows you to move forward to a more fulfilling life of purpose and direction.

I believe that clients know themselves the best and I'm here to guide them to reach their fullest potential.

I work with children, adolescents, teenagers, and adults. Using CBT as a foundation along with a variety of techniques I can help you face life's challenges. I will work to empower you in finding the path that can lead you to a more fulfilling life and engage you in your journey towards meaningful and lasting change.
