She is committed to understanding the roots of how clients currently feel and experience life, providing dedicated support for their journey towards mental, emotional, physical, and spiritual wellness. Nicole has been effective in treating a broad range of issues, including anxiety, depression, suicidal thoughts and behaviours, self-harm, chronic physical pain, post-traumatic stress, addiction, anger and rage, grief and loss, ADHD, borderline personality disorder, and bipolar affective disorder.

With 15 years of experience working with families who have faced trauma, grief, and loss, particularly related to foster care, adoption, and attachment challenges, Nicole is well-equipped to help parents understand their children’s often complex behaviours and to provide attachment-based strategies to enhance family well-being. Nicole prefers working with the caregiver and child together but is open to seeing children under the age of 13 individually, depending on the specific case.

Nicole understands financial concerns often inhibit people from pursuing adequate support. Please inquire about sliding-scale options should this be a factor for you.
