My background and approach
Get to know Nicole
Background
I hold a Master of Arts in Marriage and Family Therapy and am a licensed LMFT in California. I have over five years of experience supporting adults, teens, and couples navigating trauma, addiction, and life transitions. My clinical work spans residential treatment, outpatient programs, and private practice. I bring specialized training in Brainspotting, Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT), and trauma-informed care.
Philosophy & Approach
Therapy, for me, is rooted in collaboration and trust. I blend humor, compassion, and directness to create a space where real healing can happen. My approach is body-aware, evidence-based, and tailored to your lived experience. We go at your pace, honoring what feels right, and working toward integration and self-trust.
Why I Do This Work
My commitment to this work comes from personal experience. As someone who’s walked through trauma and addiction, I know what it takes to heal, and how powerful it is to feel truly seen. Clients often describe my style as warm, grounded, and intuitive, with just the right mix of structure and softness.
Personal Touches
When I’m not in session, you might find me crafting (yes, I once built a haunted dollhouse), hiking with my dogs, or laughing at life’s small absurdities. I hold authenticity, curiosity, and balance as core values, both in and out of the therapy room.
Therapy Experiences Shared
