Trauma-Informed:

Trauma can be both big and small, arising from societal influences, family history, or direct experiences. The lasting impact can range from conflicts in 

intimacy, parental frustrations, or an unrelenting inner critic. More severe effects such as emotional dysregulation, anxiety and depression can leave one feeling hi-jacked and powerless to their thoughts and emotions. No matter where you are, Nicolle has extensive experience helping individuals move through deep wounds. Whether developing practical skills in Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT) or exploring the power of one's thoughts with Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to delving into one's own interpretations of life with Narrative or Experiential approaches, Nicolle draws on her comprehensive education to support your unique journey toward healing and growth.

For couples therapy, Nicolle dives into the underlying needs and emotions behind behaviors.
