Description
Hi, I'm Nicole! I know it can be difficult to take that first step in getting help, like it was for me as a young adult with a chronic illness, who was also newly married. This was a challenging time for me because I wasn't feeling like myself and I was away from my support system. I was sad and tearful most days, worried about being ill, and what my life would look like in this new reality. Do you feel like you haven't been yourself lately? Maybe you no longer know who that person is. Are you having trouble getting out of bed? Do you notice you no longer enjoy the things you used to love? Or are you just finding it difficult to get motivated to do anything? If you've answered yes to any of these questions then you're in the right place. Therapy helped me get through many rough patches and I know it can help you too.
My passion is working with adults experiencing life transitions, depression, anxiety, trauma, and women's issues. I have over 20 years of experience working in the mental health field, with 11 of those years as a clinician in different capacities including residential, outpatient, and crisis settings. I am a Licensed Professional Counselor and Certified Clinical Trauma Professional.
My strength has always been in working with women. I provide them with tools to be able to cope with daily stressors, the confidence to trust their own instincts, better express and communicate their needs in relationships, and find solutions to problems that arise in their lives. We work together to identify the issues that are impacting you the most and develop a collaborative treatment plan. I use interventions like cognitive behavioral, solution-focused, and client-centered approaches that provide you with education, tools, and resources that will help you in reaching your goals for therapy.
