Her background includes time supporting people with parenting stress, relationship and intimacy issues, grief, and a wide range of mood and behavioral concerns. She also helps people facing caregiver strain, chronic illness, body image concerns, and co-occurring issues.
Her approach is collaborative: she listens first, then recommends practical steps you can try between sessions. Nicole highlights Attachment-Based, Client-Centered, Cognitive Behavioral, Dialectical Behavior, and Emotionally-Focused methods and blends them to fit each person’s goals. She is available for scheduling discussions and to explore how therapy might help you move forward.

How these approaches guide online therapy
Nicole uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help people notice and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. CBT is practical and skill-focused, which can help with anxiety, depression, addictions, and sleep or eating concerns.She also uses Attachment-Based approaches that look at how early and current relationships shape feelings and expectations. This kind of work helps when trust, intimacy, or bonding patterns are getting in the way of recovery or closeness.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Nicole will talk with each person about their goals and preferences and then try methods that fit those needs. She adapts strategies over time, checking in about what helps and what needs changing so the plan stays useful.
Her background includes providing telehealth services, but current session options may vary. Confirm which formats are offered before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, shorten commute time, and allow for flexible scheduling during early mornings, evenings, or occasional weekends. They also make it possible to continue care when travel or relocation occurs.
