Therapist

Virtual • California


Hi, I’m Nicole. It seems you are looking for some extra support right now. I have been helping people find focus and direction for nearly 20 years. I specialize in working with adults as they navigate major life changes—whether that’s starting college, entering the workforce, or managing evolving family dynamics. These transitions can feel overwhelming, uncertain, and at times paralyzing. You may find yourself questioning your decisions, struggling to trust your instincts, or feeling unseen or misunderstood by others. I have personal and professional experience as part of the LGBTQ+, ADHD/Autism, military, and entertainment communities. I offer a safe, non-judgmental space to explore the things that are holding you back from living your best life. I help you understand patterns, process past experiences, and reconnect with yourself in a meaningful way.

Therapist

Most of us aren't born knowing how to navigate relationships, understand our emotions, or process trauma. Many things influence how we react and behave, but that doesn't mean we can't grow. My goal is to help you build confidence through discovering your self-worth and practicing self-compassion. My priority is creating a safe, judgment-free environment where you feel comfortable. I show up as my authentic self to build trust with you. I'm an empathetic listener and communicate in a calm, gentle, respectful way. My job isn't to tell you what to do, but to help you process and explore topics to build self-awareness and confidence.
