About me
Nicole is a psychotherapist with a history in business leadership roles. She partners with her clients to better understand themselves, overcome challenges, and achieve their goals. She is passionate about enabling individuals and couples to overcome the effects of trauma and mental health challenges. She feels privileged to be present with her clients in dark moments and creates an authentic connection and safe, warm, empathetic environment. Nicole uses an eclectic approach to therapy including methods from DBT, CBT, AEDP, IFS, Gottman, Object Relations, and Motivational Interviewing.
With a genuine, empathetic, interactive approach, it is my privilege to create safe space for my clients where we can partner to achieve goals. Through our work together you will have greater insight into your own patterns, thoughts, beliefs, and behaviors. I will offer validation, normalization, honest feedback, practical skills, psychoeducation and coping techniques. My role is to empower you to overcome the obstacles you are struggling with and courageously pursue a life of authentic connection, professional fulfillment, wondrous adventure and mindful acceptance.
I come to my work as a psychotherapist with a history in business leadership roles. My specialties revolve around trauma, self-esteem, emotional regulation, assertiveness, professional development and difficulty with interpersonal relationships (including couples therapy). I also have a wealth of experience working with depression and anxiety.
At Roots & Branches Therapy, we endeavor to serve a diverse client base.
We welcome clients from all beliefs and backgrounds; from all racial, ethnic, sexual or gender identities as well as those in monogamous or polyamorous relationships. We strive to balance our client base between sliding scale, in-network, and full fee clients.
