She/Her/Hers
Nicole feels honored to walk alongside others on their unique paths of healing. She approaches psychotherapy collaboratively, placing emphasis on your innate wisdom and strengths to support processes of growth and transformation. She also works holistically and is attentive to the intersections of mind and body in addition to the environmental, systemic, and intergenerational factors which influence our lives and wellbeing. With a grounded presence, Nicole focuses on tending to nurturing and compassionate spaces in which to explore one’s inner world and relationship to life and Self.
Nicole has a Master’s degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling with specialization in Holistic Studies. Her practice is informed by somatic, mindful, and depth modalities including Hakomi, Jungian psychology, parts-work, and person-centered psychotherapy. She brings to counseling a background in the healing arts, with focus in the traditions of yoga and Ayurveda.
Nicole engages in ongoing work to offer care that upholds anti-racist praxis and allyship for BIPOC, LGBTQIA+, and disabled communities. She sees the effects of systemic oppression, intergenerational trauma, racism, and power/privilege as integral to her understanding of her work as a mental health clinician.
