I have had extensive experience with trauma in individuals from adolescence to late adulthood. I believe that trauma looks and feels different to every person. Two people experiencing the same event will have different outlooks and understandings of it. A traumatic event can take many forms. I want to help you pick up on where your thoughts, feelings and behaviors come from, even if you have never experienced “trauma".

Hello there — I’m Nic 👋🏼

If you’re looking for a provider who doesn’t just listen but truly hears you, you’re in the right place. My goal is for you to leave each session with clarity, confidence, and those meaningful “ah‐ha” moments that move you forward.

With 20+ years in healthcare — from military corpsman, dental assistant, cardiac sonographer, a labor & delivery and behavioral health nurse — I bring a broad, compassionate, and grounded perspective to the work we’ll do together.

Let’s build a strong foundation for your well‐being, growth, and long‐term success.

Therapy is a space where you can feel truly heard, understood, and supported as you work toward meaningful change. I strive to create a warm, safe, and non-judgmental environment where you can feel comfortable being yourself and sharing openly.

My approach is interactive and collaborative, and I understand that therapy is not one-size-fits-all. Together, we will work through current life stressors, build on your strengths, and find tools that fit your individual needs. My goal is to help you navigate life’s challenges while feeling more confident, connected, and authentic.
