Specialties: Individual, Couples, Family
Hi! My name is Nikki (she/her/hers) and I am a Marriage and Family Therapist. I work with adult individuals and couples and I specialize in anxiety, depression and infidelity. Additionally, I enjoy working with athletes both at the professional and college level.
My Therapeutic style includes Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavioral Therapy, and Relational Life Therapy. My approach is conversational, comedic and direct. Holding space for my clients to feel free of judgment through the use of humor often lightens the mood. I find that humor helps my clients feel more comfortable to discuss their emotions, experiences and vulnerabilities in a safe space.
I may be clinically trained, but I am anything but staunch. I will intently listen but I will not sit in silence nodding my head. I want to get to know my clients! I am interested in what brought them to therapy, what they want to work on, and what they hope to gain through the therapeutic process.
I will challenge you to identify and evaluate your thought processes and behaviors. I walk beside my clients, guiding them to utilize the tools and interventions we discuss in session so they can implement them outside of my office to improve their overall wellbeing, whether that is individually or within a relationship.
When I’m not working, I enjoy being outdoors, paddle boarding and kayaking, and spending time with my family and friends. I like to challenge myself to try new and different activities to get me out of my comfort zone.
