How Nicole works
Over nine years she has worked in community mental health, outpatient therapy, and school and home settings. That experience shaped a practical approach to everyday struggles and longer-term concerns. Nicole uses a trauma-informed, strength-based perspective to guide her work.
She also draws on cognitive behavioral strategies and play therapy techniques when they fit the client’s goals. In sessions she focuses on clear goals, skills practice, and using strengths to manage symptoms like anxiety, low mood, or trouble sleeping. She helps people address ADHD, addiction, relationship and family difficulties, grief, parenting strain, workplace stress, and issues around intimacy and self-esteem.
Nicole also supports those dealing with postpartum depression, compassion fatigue, and attachment or communication challenges. Outside of therapy she enjoys exercising, baking, and spending time with family. Her practical style aims to make therapy feel doable and relevant to everyday life.

Online support options
How therapeutic approaches translate to online care
Nicole blends a trauma-informed perspective with strength-based work to help people feel more stable after difficult experiences. That approach focuses on understanding how past harm affects daily life and on building coping strategies that fit each person's pace and needs.She also uses cognitive behavioral techniques to identify unhelpful thoughts and develop practical skills for managing anxiety, low mood, and sleep problems. Those techniques often involve short between-session practice, simple exercises, and goal-setting to measure progress.
Finding the right approach is collaborative. Nicole will talk with each person about symptoms, goals, and preferences, then adjust methods as needed. Together they decide what feels most useful and change course if something isn’t working.
Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is useful for more in-depth conversations and skill work. Phone sessions can fit a break at work or when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and messaging allow quick check-ins, shorter reflections, and support between longer sessions. These formats make therapy more flexible and easier to fit into a busy life.
