About me
I am an experience Licensed Clinical Social Worker dedicated to helping you manage anxiety, stress and trauma to achieve your goals.
Welcome, I'm so glad you're here!
My name is Nicole and I would love to support you in reaching your goals. As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker certified in EMDR and WET, I look forward to meeting you and establishing how we can work together to improve your daily life. I specialize in anxiety, trauma, PTSD, and stress management.
I believe we are all capable of so much more than we give ourselves credit for (compare culture is no fun!) and I am hopeful that together we can make valuable changes and overcome challenges.
A bit about my approach to therapy
As a therapist and someone who regularly engages in her own therapy, I know how intimidating it can be. My goal is to keep things as relaxed and comfortable as possible, while creating a space where difficult topics can be discussed. I am direct and want you to be aware of the process every step of the way because this is YOUR life!
I use individualized approaches based on your needs. I often utilize techniques from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Exposure Therapy and Motivational Interviewing. I am always open to feedback and want you to feel free to challenge me as much as I may challenge you.
What you can expect from our first session
You can expect your first session to be information gathering. I want to learn about you, your story, and what goals you have for yourself. We will work together to come up with a plan of action and next steps to best support your therapy journey. I strive to create a welcoming environment that can be safe, therapeutic and even sometimes fun!
