About me

Hello, my name is Nicole. I have been working with teens for 20+ years. I have worked in school environments and in treatment centers. My favorite is to work one on one with a young person and encourage them to have a voice, use their voice, and be heard.
My counseling style is Client Centered, warm and interactive with a bit of humor. I believe in treating everyone with respect, sensitivity, and compassion, and I don't believe in stigmatizing labels. My approach combines cognitive-behavioral, Dialectic Behavioral, Acceptance Based, EMDR, psychodynamic and rational-emotive counseling. I will tailor our dialog and treatment plan to meet your unique and specific needs.

It takes courage to seek for a more fulfilling and happier life and to take the first steps towards a change. If you are ready to take that step, I am here to support and empower you.

I look forward to working with you!

She is great. Try's to get to the heart of the issue, and unlike therapist in the past that I had, she actually encourages positive change.

Nichole has been by child's therapist for the pass 3 months and she has made a huge impact on her behavior, level of confidence and her overall approach to life. I really appreciate all that she has done.

Nicole is knowledgable with all the advice she gives me and within 3 weeks she has made a huge impact in my confidence and self awareness. She's truly a gem and I repsect her greatly as a person.
