Nicole is passionate about helping individuals, including teenagers, couples, and families, navigate life's transitions and challenges by developing awareness, clarity, and the necessary skills to heal and thrive. Nicole enjoys serving those who need help learning how to manage depression and anxiety effectively and those who have suffered some trauma, including domestic violence.

She looks forward to helping married, and other couples work through some of their relational and other challenges so that their relationship thrives.

She will empower the client to discover the skills needed to manage life in a way that allows them to thrive, and goals will be mutually developed.
