I’m So Glad, You’re Here

Hi, I’m nicole!

I love seeing my clients grow and connect with their authentic selves, stop living the life they feel they have to live and start living life based on their values. I love seeing people have hope even in the most hopeless of situations.

I'm a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW-C) with a background in trauma-based counseling, helping people with regulating emotions, and using mindfulness through Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT).

I understand being a person who feels emotions intensely and being considered sensitive as a child.

My Approach

I really believe that you… yes "you" can change. I know that you have probably done a lot of self-work along the way. My goal is to help you see things in a new way, stay accountable, and not lose hope in yourself or the process. I think you are doing a lot to get yourself where you want to be. You might just need some support and guidance along the way, sometimes we don't even realize it.

I see your humanity and respond to it with my own. It can be hard to be a person and I get that. I’ll provide you services like I'd want a therapist to provide me.

You don't have to continue feeling badly about yourself and your self-worth. I can help you to see your strengths for what they are and even see how your weaknesses have shaped you into being the person you are, which is pretty amazing.

 It's not easy to seek out help at the same time when you find yourself dreading work, not knowing how to respond to someone who doesn't know how to take “no” for an answer. You might feel on edge pretty often. You might believe that since you tried therapy in the past you might be beyond help. You have not tried therapy with me. Maybe this time you will start seeing the changes you'd like to see in yourself and in your life.

Picture putting yourself first by spending your money and time on your needs. What if you even made it a habit to put yourself before others that ask things of you? When’s the last time you did that?

My Focus

I've worked with other adult women who have struggled with setting boundaries in their personal and professional lives. I see you and understand how much you want to start putting yourself first. Your feelings are not wrong, and I will help you learn how to stick up for yourself and start living the life you've envisioned yourself having.

I work with adult women struggling with history of codependent relationships, being known as “people pleasers”, childhood and relationship trauma, or those going through recent change in career and relationships.

I believe in you and your journey; yes, I see this as a journey. You will have highs and lows regardless of how this journey goes for you. Whatever destination you end up at, I'll be there to cheer you on and laugh with you, or sometimes just sit with you as you reflect on how resilient you really are.

Past clients have found me warm and appreciated the direct examples I provide to explain ways to approach difficult situations. I’m not going to talk to you in a hard-to-relate way. My goal is for our sessions to help you start or continue toward your own empowerment.
