Nicole (she/her) is a licensed marriage and family therapist #105534. Nicole has gained over 10 years of experience working with adolescents, teens and their families coming to therapy for various reasons.

Nicole is passionate about providing all services from a trauma informed and culturally competent lens and wholeheartedly believes in meeting all her clients where they are at, no matter what stage of healing and recovery they are in. She believes recovery is not always linear and therefore believes in the importance of individualizing services so that each client can find the path to healing that works best for them. She also believes in the power of including family members in their teen’s treatment when appropriate as both a protective factor for that youth and source of support and strength in their treatment. Being a teen is hard enough, let’s not let them have to do it all alone!

Nicole’s individual therapy style is client centered, strengths based, authentic and integrative drawing from modalities including but not limited to Solution Focused Brief Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Trauma Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and client centered interventions. Nicole believes in therapy that addresses the person as a whole being. We do not live in a vacuum and therefore our mental health experiences cannot be treated as such.

Last but certainly not least, Nicole simply has a very strong passion for working with teens and their families. She believes a teen’s support system is incredibly important during this transitional and formative period in their lives and believes it is an honor to be a part of them and their families journey to healing, safety, authenticity and autonomy.
