"You are tired of feeling overwhelmed by the demands of everyone and everything around you. You are ready to make some changes, but not sure exactly where to start. It has become my expertise & pleasure to assist you with sorting through family of origin issues, & then interrupting cognitions that have kept you from the life & relationships that you deserve!

I am also trained in perinatal mental health. I can support you through pre-pregnancy, pregnancy, & postpartum. Whoever & wherever you are on your life's journey, you don't have to live unfavorably in any way. You are worth so much more.

​

My approach in supporting you begins with learning about your present, exploring your past, & using what I've learned about you to help you create the future you'd like with an enhanced self-awareness & new skills for life's challenges. I have special insights for people of color, professionals, perinatal mental health (men & women), and my LGBTQ+ family.

​

I am committed to using my clinical expertise, along with my humanity, to support, validate, & gently challenge you to disconnect from things/ideas that no longer serve you. Regardless of the stage of life you are in, or the setting that presents you with the most challenges, let's get you to a space where you are living your life with intentionality.

 

I am passionate & skilled at assisting fellow therapists with case consultation; support that we all need to remain the best at what we do.

 

Business coaching has been added to my list of services, as I've helped many achieve their business launch goals and remain motivated, processing internal barriers that we're holding them back. I'm prepared to offer this service to current clients and new ones, alike!"

MEET NICOLE!

Psychotherapist Intern

I grew up as the eldest of three in a single-parent household and a Midwest town where differences were glaring. Through those experiences, I learned firsthand how critical it is to find support, care, and acceptance to promote healing and advocacy. My value of respect and support for differences extends to the therapy space as I strive to provide a welcoming space for anyone ready to share their story. 

 

I am a third-year master’s student in DePaul University’s Clinical Mental Health Counseling program. Informed by my own lived experiences and passion for working with children and adolescents, I work to support people in fostering healthy development and coping mechanisms. I am also versed in working with adults who are looking to explore healing disordered eating and trauma.  I am currently offering creative-based tools and strategies to my clients influenced by art, music, and play therapy. I believe creative expression can have a profound influence on one’s healing journey. 

 

I have specific passions for:

​

🔸Children and adolescents

(youth struggle with parents going through uncoupling and other relational trauma)

🔸Adults struggling with the impact of childhood family dynamics and trauma

🔸c-PTSD

🔸Those struggling with eating disorders, disordered eating, and body image.

 

My goal when working with clients is to develop tools that grow with them to navigate the ever-evolving world. I bring my authentic, compassionate, and kind self to our sessions. My childhood struggle to find support from adults and care providers informs the drive and support I bring to my work with clients
