About Nichole
I work with children, adolescents, and young adults who are seeking support with emotional regulation, self-advocacy, and confidence-building. I am especially passionate about working with students and youth with disabilities as they navigate life transitions, develop independence, and strengthen their sense of identity and self-worth.
I approach counseling from a humanistic, client-centered perspective and is committed to meeting individuals where they are. I strive to create a safe, affirming space where clients feel heard, validated, and supported as they explore their experiences, build coping skills, and move toward growth at their own pace.

My work has shaped a deep understanding of how emotional awareness, resilience, and self-compassion play an essential role in navigating change and life challenges.

Personally
When I’m not working, I enjoy reading, spending time with my beagle River and corgi Cheddar, and making memories with my husband and son. I love being outdoors hiking and rock climbing, attending concerts, listening to music, and enjoying a good cup of coffee.
