About Nicole
Nicole believes clients are experts in their own lives and builds on existing strengths. Sessions focus on practical steps and clear goals rather than abstract theories. She uses tools that help people notice thought patterns, try small behavior changes, and increase awareness of emotions and bodily responses.
Her approach draws on cognitive behavioral methods to address unhelpful thoughts and habits. She combines this with mindfulness practices to help people stay present and reduce reactivity. Motivational interviewing is used when someone needs help clarifying goals and finding personal reasons to change.
Nicole has five years of experience working with a range of concerns related to mood, relationships, and life transitions. She works with people dealing with chronic pain, caregiver stress, body image and eating-related issues, attachment and family of origin themes, and challenges tied to fertility or fatherhood.
Sessions in her practice aim to be collaborative and goal-focused. Clients who want to start typically complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule according to availability. Nicole practices in New York and conducts work in English.
