Hi! My name is Nicole, but you can call me Nikki.

Are you feeling stuck? Frustrated? Having a difficult time navigating changes in your life? I am here to help!
I have been in social work practice for over 12 years now. I have worked with various populations including those who are dealing with life stressors, in crisis, dealing with chronic illness, grief/loss, difficulty adjusting to life transitions, trauma and stress. I approach my clients with respect and with an open mind!
I provide support and guidance so that my clients do not have to bear their struggles alone. We work collaboratively to understand what is not working and why. We examine past patterns of experience to help us understand current feelings and behaviors. We can create lasting change and transformation by addressing the underlying issues. I emphasize individual empowerment which allows the client to own their own victories. Empowerment creates a ripple effect which can transcend every aspect of ones life not just in one specific area.

If anxiety, depression, or the weight of past trauma has started to feel like it's steering your life instead of you, that's exactly where I do my best work.

Stress, anxiety, panic, trauma, or depression taking away your peace? You don’t have to keep feeling stuck, defeated, or disconnected from the life you want. After a decade as a chiropractor helping people with back and joint pain, I discovered a powerful pattern: unresolved emotional pain can affect us physically, mentally, and emotionally. That realization led me to counseling—and to a passion for helping people heal from the inside out. I work with concerns including anxiety, trauma, ADHD, addiction, mood disorders, chronic pain, codependency, phobias, and women’s issues.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Therapist in Wake Forest
Searching for therapists in Wake Forest starts with finding the right fit for what you want to address in care. You may be looking for support with anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, grief, trauma, work stress, or life transitions. As you compare Wake Forest therapists, look for someone whose listed specialties, training, and approach match your needs. Provider bios can help you see whether a therapist uses methods such as cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, eye movement desensitization and reprocessing, or acceptance and commitment therapy.
Wake Forest has local therapy options, and the broader Wake County area can add more choices. Since local appointment openings may vary, virtual therapy can make it easier to find a therapist whose schedule and focus fit what you need. When narrowing your search, consider whether the therapist is accepting new patients, offers in-person or virtual appointments, has appointment times that work for your calendar, and offers a free phone consultation. Reading each profile before booking can help you understand their communication style, session structure, and experience with concerns like yours.
Therapy in Wake Forest can be a significant expense without insurance. Using in-network coverage is one of the most reliable ways to lower session costs and make ongoing care easier to plan for. Headway helps you find therapists who match your preferences, accept a wide range of insurance plans, and show estimated out-of-pocket costs before you book. You can browse profiles, compare availability, and book directly when you’re ready.
