Nurture

Your Emotional
Health

Welcome to my website, I'm Nicole!

Starting therapy can feel intimidating — I get it! My goal is to make the process feel comfortable, supportive, and even enjoyable. I bring warmth, curiosity, and a genuine belief in every person’s ability to grow and live authentically.

I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with a Master’s degree from Rutgers University. I specialize in helping young adults navigate the ups and downs of early adulthood — managing stress, building resilience, and finding purpose when life feels uncertain.

I also love working with children and families, supporting them through challenges like anxiety, depression, impulse control, anger, and low self-esteem. I use evidence-based approaches such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction (MBSR), along with creative, play- and art-based techniques to help kids express themselves and families strengthen communication.

My approach is strengths-based and flexible — I tailor each session to meet the unique needs of my clients and help them find a sense of balance and confidence.

Outside the therapy room, you can find me traveling with my husband and daughter, cooking (the spicier, the better!), or hiking new trails with my two rescue dogs- Romeo and Penny.
