 What clients and other professionals say about Nicole:

"I saw Nicole for individual therapy during a very difficult time in my life. I didn’t trust anyone and felt scared all the time. Nicole made me feel safe. She helped me learn ways to connect more with the present, myself and others. I learned to do things that matter to me and I learned to live again. My journey with her has been very enlightening and I will never forget what she has done for me. I’m so very grateful!"

- Michelle

"I have been in therapy on and off over the past years, all talk therapy. Nothing ever seemed to change. So, I looked into another type of therapy and found Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, which seemed like it might work for me. Nicole helped me gain insight into how I was keeping myself stuck. She was kind and also challenged me to move toward what’s important to me. She is not one of those silent therapists where you wonder what they are thinking. She gives it to you straight, but with love. It was hard at first, but Nicole was patient and helped me open a new chapter in my life. I learned not to see my emotions as enemies. Thank you, Nicole!"

"Nicole is a thoughtful, compassionate and caring human being. Having been the recipient of her insights over the years, I can only imagine how wonderful she is with clients. She has a way to tap into emotions in the room that help her understand others on a deeper level. Her gentle and direct nature help gain deeper understanding. Professionally, I know Nicole to be inquisitive, knowledge-hungry and sharp. She also has a good sense of humor and an open nature that I have seen make others feel at ease. I am privileged to have been a part of her personal and professional journey and I am proud of the compassionate and competent clinician she has become."
