Hello! I’m Nicole. I specialize in helping xennial women overcome feelings of anxiety, stop overthinking and build confidence so that they can live their best life. My solution-focused, strengths based approach creates a safe space to develop personal strategies so you can increase your capacity to tolerate stress, tame all of those pesky what-if’s and enhance skills for emotional regulation. When I’m not working with clients, you can find me outdoors enjoying hiking, running and just being out in nature. I grew up in San Francisco, California and I love spending time with my friends, family and my dog Daisy!

In each session, I show up as my authentic self because I know how important it is to trust and relate to your therapist. I am passionate about what I do because I once felt stuck and held back by anxiety. I was so paralyzed by worry that I lived in survival mode and struggled with constant fear and uncertainty. Now that I have experienced my own healing and recovery from anxiety, it is now my privilege to help my clients break free from a life of worry and build a path to freedom and fulfilling opportunities.

Prior to working in private practice, I worked with teens, families and adults in outpatient, inpatient and hospital-based settings. In my professional career, I have done a lot of different things before becoming a therapist. I worked in schools, community centers, after school programs and non-profits. As a mental health clinician, I integrate my professional tools, academic training and on the ground experience to help my clients manage the own unique challenges and start their next chapter.
