Meet Nicki
Hello, there. I’m Nicki. I am so glad you’re here.
Deciding you need more support can be such a vulnerable moment. By searching for a therapist who feels like the right fit, you are one step closer to finding more ease, relief, acceptance, and connection in your life.
I enjoy supporting you during your reproductive, pregnancy, postpartum, and parenting experiences. I have a particular interest in supporting clients experiencing loss and infertility. I strive to provide a space in which you feel heard and held in the challenges and growing pains that you may encounter on the journey to grow your family. I take a holistic approach with a biopsychosocial lens, focusing on mindfulness, whole body awareness, and the connections in your life. I want to make sure you feel comfortable, secure, and confident in our work together. I foster this by infusing our work with authenticity, vulnerability, and gentle guidance so you feel empowered to care for yourself and others.
​
My background is in social work and public health, with an emphasis on maternal, infant, and child wellness. I am committed to supporting individuals and couples during this particular phase of life because — despite having been obsessed with pregnancy, birth, and babies my whole life — through my own challenges and pain of loss, grief, postpartum anxiety, and dysregulation, I know firsthand how grounding it can feel to be heard and witnessed in your journey. Though our stories are all unique and intricately our own, my experiences have afforded me shared understanding and deeper empathy when guiding you towards feeling like your best self.
When I am not supporting others, I support myself by spending time with my partner and daughters, moving my body and slowing my mind, traveling to new places, enjoying a page-turning book, and indulging in delicious food.
