I’m Nicole. Those who know me would say I appear to have it together (appear is the important word here). I have a slight obsession with pushing my body’s endurance to its limit, yet I also value slower pace and restoration. Thankfully, Durango is a wonderful place to strike that balance. I’m a present-minded individual who is working on intentional vulnerability to strengthen my relationships. My own therapy has allowed me to process my trauma and utilize it as a learning tool to move forward rather than feel trapped by it.
I work with individuals who are finding their identity, who are seeking control over their lives, and who wish to navigate the world without the weight of their trauma and anxiety. Adolescents generally fit this well. I also work with school-aged children (ages 5+) and their parents, utilizing play therapy to attune to each child, encourage communication and emotional regulation, and work through traumas. Much of my practice with adults utilizes CBT. I’m here to sit with you, dissect, and reframe the jumbled mess of thoughts and feelings in your brain. I ask that my clients approach this process with grace as we learn together.
I am a social work intern currently pursuing my MSW through University of New Hampshire. My love for therapy work was born when I took a role as a field guide for Summit Achievement, a wilderness therapy program in Maine. I have since run a teen program through Boys & 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 you and/or your children with a safe space to show up authentically and empower you to reach your goals.
