Meet Nicole

I have over 10 years of experience helping individuals manage substance use and mental health challenges. My clinical experience includes providing behavioral health services to a diverse population of adults in outpatient programs, residential treatment facilities, and holistic treatment settings. I have a compassionate, solution-focused therapeutic approach and utilize my experience to help individuals reclaim their power, increase self-awareness, and develop effective coping strategies to live healthy, fulfilling lives. I am passionate about educating others on the role of nutrition in mental health and addiction.

I utilize my experience to help individuals reclaim their power, increase self-awareness, and develop effective coping strategies.

When I am not working, I love being with my friends and family, cooking a good meal, traveling, spending time outside (preferably in the sun), and getting overly invested in a good TV show.
