She has worked in hospitals as well as in homecare, hospice, palliative care, brain injury programs, and schools, bringing a broad clinical perspective to each client’s concerns.

Across her career she has supported individuals and groups and has provided continuing education, workshops, and supportive resources for community members and professionals. She has experience working with clients of all ages who face challenges related to ADHD, autism, learning and other disabilities, anxiety, depression, and a variety of other mental health diagnoses. She has also worked with people who have experienced physical or emotional trauma or abuse and with those who have struggled with substance abuse.

Nicole approaches therapy in a warm, interactive manner, combining methods that fit each person’s personality, needs, and goals. Her work often incorporates mindfulness techniques, cognitive-behavioral strategies, and mind-body practices as appropriate. Conversations and treatment plans are tailored to the individual, with an emphasis on identifying and building personal strengths while supporting practice in areas that could benefit from additional skill development.

She pays attention to how difficulties affect communication, family dynamics, and relationships, and when appropriate she focuses on strategies and tools to improve communication and relational functioning. Nicole understands that taking initial steps toward change can be challenging, and she looks forward to working with people as they move toward the positive changes they want to make.
