About Nicki
A therapist who truly listens
I believe healing happens in relationship — and that starts with feeling genuinely seen and heard.
My path to counseling
My own personal experiences recovering from a traumatic event in my life, while raising my family of four children, give me insight into the challenges my clients face. That journey is what drew me to counseling — a deep desire to help others find their footing when life feels like it's unraveling.
I graduated from UW-Whitewater in 2019 and have been in practice for over seven years. I work with individuals, couples, and families — helping people overcome personal challenges, find healthier perceptions of themselves, and strengthen their most important relationships.
Today, I run a private practice in Mount Holly, NC where I can offer the kind of unhurried, individualized care I believe every person deserves. Whether you're coming to therapy for the first time or returning, you can make the changes you seek — and we can do this together.
My approach
I draw from several evidence-based modalities, always tailoring the work to fit you — not the other way around.
Whole-person care
You are more than your symptoms. I look at the full picture — your history, relationships, body, and strengths — to understand what's really going on.
Collaborative partnership
Therapy works best when we're working together. I'll offer guidance and tools, but you're the expert on your own life.
Compassion without judgment
Whatever you bring into the room — shame, anger, confusion, grief — it's welcome here. I have a high sense of non-judgment and understand how hard it can be to take that first step.
Evidence-based methods
I often use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), along with Gottman Method, Brainspotting, Attachment-based, Trauma-Focused, and Mindfulness-Based approaches tailored to your needs.
