Hello- I'm Nicole. Those who know me would say I appear to have it together (appear is the important word here). I'm a fan of long days on my feet - trail running, backpacking, skiing - and especially with friends. I believe in the healing power of community and connection, something I now prioritize. I also believe in the healing power of snuggling with my dog. My own personal therapy has allowed me to find strength and compassion for my parts, moving forward with purpose, and ready to adapt to challenges as they come.
I am passionate about supporting clients through body image and disordered eating challenges, especially those who strive for perfectionism and measure their worth in achievement. I enjoy working with clients experiencing high anxiety who wish to better tolerate discomfort. I also see children ages 10+ and their caregivers, utilizing play, talk, and somatic-based therapies to attune to each child, encourage communication, and work through traumas. My hope is to establish a sense of safety to anchor you while we begin accessing and healing more emotional parts. I am a firm believer that we are all continuous learners and I look forward to that with my clients.
Education and Experience
I am a Clinical Social Work Candidate (SWC) who is supervised by Mark Sobel, LCSW. I received my MSW from University of New Hampshire in May 2026. My love for therapy work was born when I took a role as a field guide for Summit Achievement, a hybrid wilderness therapy program in Maine. I have since run a teen program through Boys and Girls Club and interned as a play therapist. I am extremely motivated by witnessing the personal growth of my clients, whatever that looks like for them. My goal is always to provide clients with a safe space to show up authentically and empower them to reach their goals.
NOTE: I am currently being trained in EMDR and am able to utilize it with appropriate clients. Please reach out if you are interested.
