I help people understand that the ability to change exists inside them. I help them to understand the stages of change and how they can use these stages to effective change themselves and their lives.

The most important person in the therapeutic process is the client. Therapy is interactive relationship. This is a group practice with providers who will not simply nod or convey empathy. Together we will look for solutions. We used a solution based approach to assist in exploring the patterns of behaviors, expectations and relationships to form new more adaptive ways to manage the world around you. We are here for you. All the therapist's at this practice understand that your needs are primary. We work hard to set aside our own agendas and be flexible to your needs.

I strive to create a relaxed, supportive, and positive space for my clients during counseling. I know disclosing personal info can be tough, so I show respect, honesty, compassion, and non-judgmental listening. My goal is to make sure my clients feel heard, understood, supported, and gain valuable insights. I have 25 years of experience working with kids, teens, and adults in different settings like outpatient clinics, homecommunity, schools, psychiatric hospitals, and primary care offices. Even though I specialize in trauma counseling, I work with many clients who have anxiety, depression, mood conditions, intrusive thoughts, etc. As a trauma therapist, I work with clients experiencing past or present trauma. My expertise encompasses various forms of trauma, including sexual, physical, emotional, and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) resulting from war, natural disasters, and unresolved grief. I hold certifications in somatic trauma counseling and cognitive behavioral therapy.

It is my goal to help you apply what you've learned while nurturing change and growth, so that you can experience greater balance and peace in your life.

Feeling anxious, stuck, or just tired of carrying so much on your own? Feeling like you’re surviving but not thriving? Maybe your brain won’t slow down, you’re constantly feeling overwhelmed by your emotions, and always on edge. Or maybe you’ve been carrying old wounds for a long time—family stuff, trauma, relationship struggles, grief. You might be struggling with the general chaos of being a human in the world right now. You may be questioning your identity, navigating life in a world that often misunderstands you, or feeling exhausted from simply trying to hold it all together. If any of this feels familiar, you’re not alone. Hi, I'm Nicole! As a queer therapist, I am passionate about working with LGBTQIA+ folks who are navigating trauma, identity exploration, anxiety, depression, and burnout. Many of the people I work with have histories of complex trauma, emotional neglect, harmful relationships, or traumatic loss. Others are looking for a safe, affirming space to unpack internalized shame, reconnect with their bodies, and learn new ways of connecting to themselves and others. I draw from a variety of evidence-based and trauma-informed modalities to best fit your unique needs, including cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), trauma-informed CBT (TF-CBT), mindfulness-based tools, and somatic practices. Therapy is a partnership - together, we’ll work to untangle old patterns, reconnect with your body and emotions, and build tools that actually make life feel more livable. I believe healing isn’t about becoming someone new—it’s about becoming you. If you’re ready to start that process, I’d love to connect and see if we’re a good fit.

I offer therapy that helps you move forward. Any frustration or challenge—no matter the size—is valid and can mark the beginning of a meaningful journey to grow up, through, and beyond your difficulties. Whether you are facing relationship struggles, feeling stuck, or confronting life’s big questions and decisions, we work together to understand and transform the underlying patterns that shape your experience. Drawing on evidence-based methods, my approach supports you in meeting life’s complexities with steadiness, insight, and a touch of humor. With nearly ten years of clinical experience, including work as an interfaith chaplain at the Cleveland Clinic, I bring a deep respect for individual stories and the search for perspective. I hold degrees in history and theology and trained as a therapist at John Carroll University. Currently, I am completing advanced training at the Cleveland Psychoanalytic Center—an institute renowned for its rigorous, historically grounded teaching. This background informs my love for exploring how personal and cultural histories influence who we are and how we heal. St. Augustine observed that people marvel at the heights of mountains and the movement of the stars, et relinquunt se ipsos—“and they leave themselves behind.” In therapy, I invite you to return to yourself, to cultivate curiosity and understanding, and to begin weaving together the strands of your next chapter. I practice at Archive, a company dedicated to raising standards in therapy. We bring together rigorously trained therapists and provide therapy that is thoughtful, structured, and focused on lasting impact. We believe working with a wise, professional partner is one of the most meaningful investments you can make in yourself.

Are the relationships in your life not all that you want them to be? Relationships can make life worth living, or they can make your miserable. Whether it is a marriage that isn't going well, a parentchild relationship that never seems to work well, or you just seem to find yourself repeating past mistakes over and over again, sometimes we all need help figuring out how to move forward in a new way. I strongly believe in the power of relationships to help heal us and I enjoy working with people to help them make sense of the relationships in their lives.

I am a therapist who specializes in working with adolescents and adults who struggle with either anxiety, life transitions, complex trauma or spirituality. I enjoy being able to walk alongside others in their life journey and to be a stable and consistent support in their life. I have been in the mental health field for over 5 years now, working with various populations of those who have experienced trauma throughout various forms of life. I also have experience working with individuals with co-occurring disorders and those who are also desiring family therapy to address family conflict or stressors. I often use strength-based modalities that foster a client-centered session in conjunction with certain interventions such as cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), and parts work. I can also incorporate Christian spirituality into sessions as well, if desired. It is important for you to feel heard and valued in session as you bring what you desire to focus on into the therapy environment with me. We will next work on skills, where you can increase your insight into what you are experiencing, and build confidence to address the struggles you are facing with new tools. I am a big supporter of a person-centered approach, and I value the individual as someone who is an expert on their own life and just needs someone to help bring that to the surface.
