Are you ready for something different?

I’m Nikki. I’m a therapist, but first and foremost I am a human. Humanhood  shapes and guides my work as a therapist. I believe that humor matters. Play matters. Relationships matter. And I strongly believe that none of us need to “have it all figured out” to experience belonging.

I’m not interested in performing “therapist” while you perform “client”.  After more than two decades doing this work, I’ve learned that therapy does not have to look a particular way to be meaningful.  People need relationships where they have room to be who they already are. Our time together will not involve yet another person telling you who you should be or how you should live. Instead, we will pay attention together to what feels safe, what doesn’t, what matters to you and what happens between us along the way. 

You may find value in my warmth, presence, curiosity and comfort keeping things real. My own (very human!) life experiences and wide array of clinical work have deepened my respect for and understanding of different nervous systems and different ways of communicating and connecting. I make room for people to be themselves. That might mean we head outside,  sit on the floor, spend time with your pet, chat with a family member or loved one, play - or just be. We’ll discover together what works for you.
