Before working with Nicole, I was surviving but not thriving. I was experiencing life but was not fully engaged in it. I felt separate and apart from my feelings and unable to truly trust that I could handle daily stressors well. Since working with her, I have noticed significant changes in my ability to feel regulated, to experience a fuller range of emotions and to thrive, despite many life stressors occurring at once. Nicole is able to give personal and insightful care through her active attention to our discussions. She very kindly and compassionately guides me through processing my larger trauma and also my day-to-day struggles. Working with her has changed my life for the better in many ways. These include increasing my tolerance for discomfort, learning to be kinder to myself as well as attuning myself to my emotions through my body. Because of this, I am more effective at work and more present for the important relationships in my life. Nicole is able to adapt to what I need in each individual session while keeping my healing on track. Nicole has helped me to find a sense of contentment and empowerment through my work with her.
