Hi, I'm Nicole and it is so nice to meet you! You found me, and it looks like you’ve also found a cheerleader, friend, safe space and a therapist you’ll be working with too. Therapy can be such a life changing experience, and finding a therapist who can remind you of the light when it is lost, the confidence when we are at a lower point, the calm when we feel anxiety ridden and the humor when we cant get ourselves to laugh, is refreshing. I bring energy, love, humor and relatability into my sessions. I am also excited to share some great qualities I have as a therapist to help you feel informed and excited to work with me.  

I have worked extensively with youth, young adults, parents, families and groups that are experiencing mental health disorders or obstacles. I use an empathic and holistic approach when working with clients and love to emphasize the healing factors of music, movement, and mindfulness. I bring livelihood, humor, vibrancy and energy into therapy sessions to make all of my clients feel at home. My goal is to help you overcome psychological obstacles, heighten your self esteem, strengthen the relationships around you and work with you to increase your quality of life. I am experienced in individual, group and family therapy. 

I think it's important to know who I am behind my therapy and therapist role. Behind this, I am a competitive soccer player, singer, dancer, cat/dog lover and fellow USC alumni ( FIGHT ON!).  I love being with friends and family, and enjoy the views in Palos Verdes ( my hometown), Redondo beach and Hermosa beach!

I have extensive experience working with anxiety disorders, panic disorder, depression, suicidal ideation, self harm, OCD, bipolar disorder(s), attention deficit/hyperactivity disorder ( ADHD), trauma and healing in family systems. I have seven years of experience with adolescent development, young adult psychology and working with family systems.
