Hi there,

Dr. Nicole here.

I understand that the world can sometimes (read: often) feel overwhelming and it's not always easy to find someone who understands the challenges you face daily.

Are abrupt noises, bright lights, and certain textures and smells sources of stress and anxiety?

How about the GI issues, headaches and fatigue that come along with it?

Does this overwhelm prevent you from going out or spending time with your loved ones?

Although it may be hard to believe, you're not alone in these experiences.

There is more ease and joy written for your next chapter.

It’s possible to not feel trapped by overwhelm and anxiety.

Imagine not having to spend so much time recovering from stress.

You would have a better relationship with what’s happening.

You’d understand your nervous system, trauma, habits, and routines.

You would even know the specific tools to help you move through the stress, and no longer just cross your fingers that one of them works (you know, trying all the essential oils, weighted blankets, and breathing techniques at once).

It would be an honor to be a part of your healing to get there.

My goal is to create a space for you to explore your thoughts, feelings, and experiences in your mind and body.

Together, we’ll identify strategies that will help you cope with the challenges you face.

I’m here to support you every step of the way.

Through our work together, you’ll gain a greater understanding and acceptance of yourself, and develop the tools you need to live a more fulfilling life.

Thanks for spending a moment with me,

- Dr. Nicole
