Nicole believes therapy does not have to feel stiff or intimidating. She brings a warm, laid-back, and collaborative presence, creating a grounded space where clients can feel comfortable showing up as themselves.

Nicole works with children, teens, and adults, with a special interest in supporting children and adolescents. Her approach is holistic and person-centered, rooted in unconditional acceptance, curiosity and connection. She considers the larger picture of what has influenced each client’s mental health and shapes her work to fit their individual needs, experiences, and stage of development.

In her work with children, Nicole uses child-centered play therapy to provide a developmentally appropriate space for self-expression, emotional processing, and growth. Recognizing play as a child’s natural language, she helps children explore their experiences, build confidence, and develop a stronger sense of self. With teens, Nicole creates a space where they can express themselves authentically, navigate the complexities of adolescence, and feel seen and understood.  Nicoles clinical work with children and teens is individual in nature, hosting a different space than traditional family therapy.  Parents remain informed via parent consistent check-ins, consultation, and occasional family sessions as clinically appropriate. These sessions are supportive and adjunctive, rather than family therapy as the primary treatment focus.

Nicole’s work with adults often centers on understanding how past experiences have shaped their nervous systems, beliefs, patterns, and relationships. At the core of this work is helping clients shift the narrative from “What’s wrong with me?” to “What happened to me, and how did it shape me?”

Nicole draws from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Somatic Experiencing, expressive arts, and child-centered play therapy. She often supports clients navigating anxiety, depression, ADHD, trauma, life transitions, peer and relational difficulties, and self-esteem and identity development.

Nicole earned her M.S. in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. Outside of therapy, she values yoga, time in nature, creative outlets, and meaningful time with loved ones. These values inform how she shows up in the therapy room, where presence, pacing, and genuine care remain central to the therapeutic process.
