More about Nicole

  • 8 years' experience
  • Female
  • LPC

I specialize in working with adults across the lifespan, with a particular sensitivity to the complexities of aging, chronic conditions, loss, and long-standing emotional pain. I also support individuals managing mood disorders, anger, trauma, and relationship concerns.

I use evidence-based approaches like CBT, DBT, CPT, ACT, and trauma-informed care within a strengths-based framework to help you regulate emotions, shift unhelpful patterns, and process difficult experiences. Therapy is collaborative, supportive, and focused on meaningful change—so you feel heard, empowered, and able to move forward.

If you’re feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or simply ready for something to change, you don’t have to navigate it alone. Reaching out can be the first step toward feeling more grounded, understood, and in control of your life. I welcome you to connect when you’re ready.

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.

Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.
