Welcome

Hi, I’m Nikki!

If you’re looking to better understand your emotions, feel more confident in your relationships, or find a healthier balance between caring for others and caring for yourself, I’m here to help. Together, we’ll work on emotional regulation, communication, and assertiveness so you feel more confident, authentic, and connected in your relationships.

My Approach

I use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help you better understand your thoughts, emotions, and behaviors and explore new ways of responding that feel more effective and aligned with your values. I tailor our work to your goals, balancing practical skills with time to reflect on the patterns that shape how you relate to yourself and others.

My Focus

I work with adults navigating anxiety, stress, interpersonal challenges, and major life changes. Together, we’ll explore how these experiences affect your relationships and develop practical skills to manage emotions, communicate effectively, set boundaries, and navigate challenges with greater confidence. 

My journey to mental healthcare

My path into mental health has been shaped by my family history of addiction, loss, and mental illness, as well as my experiences as a wife, mother, and former educator. These experiences deepened my understanding of mental health and inspired me to become an MFT. Since 2018, I’ve worked in private practice, telehealth, and as a Clinical Director.

My goals for you

We’ll identify what you’d like to feel or experience differently in your life and relationships. Together, we’ll set manageable goals, build practical skills, and work toward greater confidence, connection, and resilience while recognizing your progress along the way.

Our first session

Your first session is a chance for us to get to know each other and begin creating a comfortable, trusting space. We’ll talk about what brings you to therapy, what you hope to change, and your goals. You don’t need to have it all figured out—I’ll guide the conversation and we’ll move at a pace that feels right for you.
