accepting new clients virtually

Nicole specializes in helping clients of all ages to overcome anxiety, OCD, and stress with mindfulness and cognitive behavioral tools.


If you're looking to cultivate a stronger relationship with yourself, gain tools to manage anxiety, and embark on a journey to build self-identity and self-acceptance, you're in the right place. Managing anxiety, depression, grief, interrelational conflicts, and other life stressors alone is difficult. Nicole is here to guide and support, empowering you to tap into your innate strength to manage symptoms and develop new skills. Nicole fosters a strengths-based perspective that helps clients recognize their own resilience, set boundaries, and embrace the change needed to live more freely and authentically. Nicole uses cognitive behavioral therapy to help clients learn to be present, observe their thoughts without judgment, and develop a sense of inner calm that ultimately allows them to be the primary agent of their own growth.

Nicole is a licensed clinical social worker who has worked with children, adolescents, adults, couples, and families for nearly 20 years. In addition to 7 years in private practice, Nicole has worked in the foster care system and public schools. She supports clients processing grief, identifying and managing their emotions, improving executive functioning skills, and prioritizing self-love and care. Nicole is a 200-hour certified yoga instructor and has advanced training in yoga and mindfulness therapy for children and adolescents. She earned her master’s degree from Jane Addams College of Social Work and her undergraduate degree in social science from Michigan State University.
