Listen, are you breathing, just a little & calling it a life? -Mary Oliver
Welcome. I'm so glad you're here. If you're seeking therapy, you're likely looking for some sort of change, which requires hope. I think hope is gritty and requires courage. And I believe the magic is found right in that liminal space where we start to open the door to new possibilities.
I currently serve adult women-identifying clients in my private practice who desire to work through grief, trauma, anxiety, depression, and relational conflict. Informed by relational psychodynamic theory and existential psychotherapy, my therapeutic orientation is relationship centered. My treatment approach takes into consideration factors such as your own unique personal/interpersonal and affective concerns, your early life experiences and the nature of your relationships including that of the therapeutic relationship. My hope is not that therapy would change you but that it would widen your capacity to be with and hold your own story tenderly and with kindness.
I'm Nicole. I'm a woman, a partner, a mother, a friend, a daughter, a reader, a lifelong learner, a gardener, a coffee & tea drinker, a hiker, a putterer, an animal lover, a traveler, and a cookbook enthusiast.
