I am a licensed internationally & board recognized trauma therapist. I specialize in working with angry, oppositional, depressed, anxious, or suicidal youths. My goal is to build rapport with the child and parent to help foster open communication, exploration of challenges, and growth. My approach is to support, educate, and guide as needed. I also offer assistance to: - Parents needing skills (communication, parenting, etc) -Young adultscollege students with a trauma history - Young adults or college students struggling with finding their niche or identity -Young adults or college students experiencing depression or anxiety -Families struggling with at-risk youths (i.e., teens engaging in delinquent behaviors) -Youths being released from residential treatment facilities - Youths with severe mental illness (i.e., bipolar disorder, psychotic symptoms) In therapy I focus not only on validating your experiences (as appropriate), but also exploring challenges of living (i.e., transitions or changes, family difficulties, loss and grief, suicidal thoughts, questioning of faith or spiritual meaning, low self-esteem, culturally related challenges, healing from trauma or abuse, etc) and how they are affecting you. We all face these things, but how we cope with them is the most important part of therapy. My main goal with all of my clients is to hear their individual stories and design a therapeutic approach based on the joint efforts of therapist and client. Each session focuses on building personal insight, spiritual awareness, and concrete tools for coping, adjusting, or changing.

While we cannot change the past, we can choose how we perceive it and how we move forward. In my work with clients, I emphasize the power of self-expression as a path to greater self-awareness and healing. Expression plays a vital role in our everyday lives, especially when navigating through challenging experiences like grief and trauma. I approach therapy with a person-centered, trauma-informed, and strength-based perspective, meeting clients where they are and helping them make meaningful changes toward healing. For some, verbal expression can be difficult. Creative outlets, such as art, offer a powerful way to externalize thoughts and emotions in a tangible, meaningful way. As an Art Therapist, I am able to integrate creative expression into therapy sessions to foster deeper self-awareness and facilitate the healing process. I am a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) and a Board-Certified Registered Art Therapist (ATR-BC). With years of experience helping individuals navigate trauma, grief, depression, anxiety, body image, self-esteem, and addiction, I utilize a variety of therapeutic techniques, including Trauma-Informed Care, CBT, DBT, MI, and Crisis Intervention. I offer both in-person sessions and telehealthvirtual options to best support your needs.

Accepting new clients! Clients come to me looking for a therapist who recognizes intimidation in asking for help because therapy should be a place where you feel seen and understood.

As an experienced independently licensed therapist, I believe in an evidence-based treatment approach. You don’t have to continue to feel you lost yourself, and you don’t have to do it alone.

Worrying every damn day is exhausting. Let's tackle that together, so you can enjoy what you love most! Many people I work with tell me their thoughts are a jumbled-up mess that keeps them from living the life they dream of. Every person has strengths, and we can use them to help you meet your needs. My approach is predominantly Strengths-Based and Solution-Focused, using Acceptance & Commitment Therapy strategies. Still, I will draw on other methods eclectically based on your needs and situation. My goal is for our sessions to bring you relief, even from the first session. I hope you always leave our sessions ready to be kind to yourself. I have experience helping people from lots of different backgrounds, including families involved with children’s services or juvenile court, inmates in a jail, and residents in a long-term care facility as they struggled with the loss of independence, isolation, and sometimes health concerns. I embrace opportunities to work with people struggling with anger management, communicating with the people in their lives, anxiety, depression, and overwhelm.

Working with both Clinical and Forensic populations, I provide targeted Cognitive Behavioral (CBT) and Dialectical Behavioral (DBT) Therapies tailored to each client's specific needs.

Additionally, I treat various forensic populations, including individuals convicted of violent and non-violent criminal offenses, perpetrators of domestic violence, sex offenders, and others.

If you're feeling "stuck" in some area of your life - perhaps a relationship, your career, or your own personal struggles with anxiety, depression, anger, or jealousy - then you may benefit from a more active, collaborative form of therapy. I am the co-owner of Integrity Psychological Services. We are a dynamic group psychology practice of 17 licensed and experienced practitioners that focuses on active problem resolution - we will not just nod our heads at you while you speak! Instead, we focus on actively providing you with the tools and techniques that help you to achieve your goals. We utilize the following research-based approaches in our practice: Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Exposure with Response Prevention (EXRP) for the treatment of panic disorders, phobias, and other anxiety, EMDR for the treatment of trauma & loss, and mindfulness techniques and the principles of positive psychology which are based on the "science of happiness."

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.

Are you ready to start working on yourself and your healing? If the answer is "Yes," continue reading. Therapy is a very personal experience, so it’s important that you feel comfortable with your therapist. Probably, you experience some stress, sadness, relationship difficulties, trauma, or addiction… or maybe you just need to talk to someone. Also, you might seek help from the therapist because you want to perform more effectively and be the best you can be. You might want to learn to manage your anxiety more effectively, or you may want to learn to regulate your mood so your low moods have less impact on your day-to-day life. You might want to learn to relate better to others. You might want to learn more about yourself, your values, and how this could impact your behavior and others. You might be struggling with changes and want to learn how to struggle less or integrate these changes into your life more easily. And I am here to help and support you in accomplishing these goals. My nonjudgmental approach allows people to feel safe and validated. My lived experience allows me to empathize with my clients, utilizing this to empower and facilitate change. I do not judge you, your lifestyle, or your beliefs; I keep anything said between us confidential. You and your situation or relationship are what is important to me. I offer my clients the opportunity to learn new perspectives and to think about what's happening from a different angle. With me, you will learn to love and value yourself. When a client learns to manage his or her thoughts, the client can alter how they feel and make new choices about behavior. I want to help you where you are right now.
