I am a Social Worker licensed in Michigan with over 17 years of experience working in the hospital setting as well as in homecare, hospice, palliative care, brain injury and schools. I have enjoyed working with clients individually as well as in groups in addition to providing continuing education to professionals and other workshops and supportive resources to community members. I have worked with clients of all ages with a variety of concerns including challenges associated with ADHD, Autism, Learning and other Disabilities as well as clients struggling with Anxiety, Depression and other mental health diagnoses. Additionally, I have worked with many people who have experienced physical and/or emotional trauma or abuse and those that have struggled with substance abuse.
My therapeutic style is warm and interactive. My approach combines a variety of methods including the use of mindfulness strategies, cognitive behavioral and mind-body techniques as a few examples, based on your personality, needs and goals. Our conversations and your treatment plan will be tailored to meet your unique needs. We will work toward identifying and utilizing your personal strengths to their maximum potential and improving any areas that may benefit from additional practice and support. I work with my clients to help identify the ways in which these challenges can impact communication, family and relationships, and when appropriate, focus on strategies and tools that positively impact communication and help improve relationships as well.
It can be very difficult to take the first steps to make adjustments in our lives that move us toward the positive changes we would like to see. I am looking forward to working with you on this journey!

I love how kind and personable Nicole is. When I'm happy about something she is happy with me and when I'm upset she is gentle and empathetic.

I feel very encouraged to talk openly and am listened to-- which is wonderful. Not only that, Nicole gives me great exercises and helps me reframe my unhealthy ways of thinking in a safe, non-judgmental manner. Navigating trauma is hard, but with each step, Nicole makes it feel more manageable!
