About Nicole

Grounded in lived experience
and clinical expertise.

Over the past 20 years, I have worked alongside law enforcement officers. The impact of chronic exposure to trauma, especially secondary trauma, can shape every part of our lives: our bodies, our relationships, our thinking, and our sense of wellbeing.

I am a Cordico / Lexipol ERPSCC, a credential reserved for clinicians with specialized training in first responder and public safety culture. My work is grounded in both lived experience and advanced clinical training, allowing my approach to be practical, honest, and useful on and off the job.

I use evidence-based, trauma-informed practices to address mental injuries that include depression, anxiety, PTSD, vicarious trauma, and compassion fatigue that often come with serving on the front lines.

My Approach

Direct. Honest. Real.

"At the core of my approach is the belief that every person deserves to be seen and met exactly where they are."

I use a direct, solution-focused style supported by humor and a touch of sarcasm to create a space that feels real, grounded, and manageable, even when the work is hard.

Your First Session

We'll focus on what you hope to achieve. I want to understand your goals, your priorities, and what you need. Your voice guides the direction; therapy is most effective when it's a true collaboration.

Our initial meeting is also a chance to make sure we're a good fit. Finding a provider you genuinely connect with is essential for meaningful progress.
