Meet Nicole
She/Her
Carbonated beverages and iced coffee are my jam.
Mom to humans and dogs.
Trail running is my stress toy.
I routinely have full-on convos with my dogs.
Your biggest fan.
Your biggest fan?! Me. I have a knack for genuinely helping hype you up and highlight your strengths - even if you can’t see them.
Even if it feels like those gifts are buried 50 feet deep in a secret vault with a tiny dinosaur on top.
We will get to them and help you finally see them, be them, and live them.
I will also work to bring some lightness, some witty (ok, sorta witty) jokes, and a sense of ease to our sessions.
Therapy Doesn’t Have To Feel Like A Box of Stale Saltines.
Working with a therapist doesn’t have to feel like a stale box of saltines, being asked “and how do you feel about that”...or playing with Legos and doing art with no strategy or direction.
You or your child get to have a therapist that you actually feel eager to see at your next session, and where you actually start to see some change.
I also like to think my office is pretty awesome and fun to be in…so there’s that.
Finally.
I know how to get serious, though, when seriousness is called for. We can deep dive into your goals and needs and challenge you, so you can get the progress you or your child have been needing.
You’ve been wanting the perfect mix of a human who isn’t intimidating…
can crack some serious jokes with you…
AND a specialist that can get the results you’ve been wanting.
