Nicole is amazing, after so many difficult experiences with finding a good therapist I still cannot believe that I found her! Not only is she empathetic, responsive, and highly intelligent, she is kind and somehow always knows what tools to give me to feel better during our session & after! She balances our sessions to feel casual while giving me concrete tools to improve my mental health & relationships in ways no other therapist has done before. I also work in healthcare and am so grateful I found someone skilled & genuine who can help me navigate through these difficult times. She always makes me feel supported, she is the best!

My wife and I are going through a very difficult time with our adult nephew. Nichole listened and offered some great advice, but more importantly she gave us some tools to help with our anxiety. I'd recommend Nichole to anyone dealing with family issues or anxiety.
