Welcome
Hi, I’m Nikki!
If you’re looking to increase connection, confidence, and effectiveness with others, I’m here to help. With genuine warmth and compassion, I’ll guide you in building emotional awareness and self-regulation, empathic communication, and assertiveness skills so you feel more authentic and connected in your relationships.
My approach
I provide Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) which focuses on the connection between thoughts, emotions, and behaviors. I’ll listen with care, ask thoughtful questions, and offer honest, compassionate feedback to support you in gaining insight, building confidence, and moving toward your goals.
My focus
I can help you to navigate anxiety, stress, interpersonal conflict, and major life changes by increasing self-awareness and exploring strategies for self-soothing and effective communication. 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 communication style
I create a warm, welcoming, and judgment-free environment where you can feel heard, supported, and comfortable being yourself. Sessions are collaborative and personalized, with a balance of encouragement, honest conversation, and practical guidance. Working with me feels relaxed, empowering, and focused on meaningful progress.
My journey to mental healthcare
My path into mental health has been shaped by my own relationships and personal road toward greater emotional regulation and interpersonal effectiveness as a wife, mother, and former educator. Since becoming an MFT in 2018, I have worked in private practice and telehealth, as well as served as a Clinical Director.
My goals for you
Working together, I’ll help you to 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, 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.
I invite you to reach out. I would be honored to support you as you navigate life’s challenges, strengthen your relationships, and work toward meaningful, lasting change.
