Welcoming New Clients on Waitlist for April (Ages 16+)

Hey, I’m Nicole! I fully believe in the power of therapy, of human connection, and how being honest about where you are at can be healing and empowering. I specialize in eating disorders, perinatal mental health, anxiety and life transitions, and trauma (using my training in EMDR). I have a passion for helping people gain insight into their emotional and behavioral patterns to help them become more kind to themselves.

The perinatal period is defined as conception up until one year postpartum. It includes the mental, emotional, & social well-being during & after pregnancy. Those trained in perinatal mental health are also trained to help with difficulties regarding infertility, birth trauma, infant loss, & navigating new family dynamics. Perinatal mental health can impact any member of the family regardless of gender, including birthing partners & adoptive parents.

I offer a compassionate and non-judgmental environment to process difficulties big and small. I would love to help you work through and process life’s challenges to help you become the best version of yourself. If you truly desire change and are motivated and willing to put in the work, I believe change and healing are possible.

In my personal life, I enjoy spending time with my husband and daughter (and my dog, Hoosier!). I also enjoy being outside, doing anything creative, and reading. My current read is “The Invisible Life of Addie Larue” by V.E. Schwab.
