There are times in one's life that the daily journey can be more difficult. During those times, seeking assistance, support, and resolution is necessary to heal the pain and internal conflict. Having someone to help guide, encourage, and teach becomes important to help one become more authentic. Finding one's sense of internal power, self-worth, and growth is the ultimate gift.I have years of experience with trauma-informed therapy and primarily use EMDR - Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing- to help facilitate the healing process and resolve the experiences that keep us from living our most fulfilling life possible.My approach is comprehensive. I aim to understand the complexity and experience as I support each client in a process that leads to lasting and meaningful change, allowing them to continue participating constructively in their own lives. 

Nicole has over ten years of experience practicing trauma-informed therapy, with substantial expertise in working with military Veterans, sexual trauma, dissociation, and cognitive barriers. She has presented at national organizational leadership conferences, academic institutions, and local community organizations on topics related to trauma, clinical care, and lived experiences. Additionally, she provides education, advocacy, and support to local law enforcement agencies and community stakeholders involved in mental health initiatives.

She is trained in EMDR and is an Approved Consultant with the EMDR International Association (EMDRIA). Nicole offers clinical consultation, supervision for licensure, and EMDR certification, supporting providers nationwide. She actively participates in community programs dedicated to reducing Veteran suicide, serving on the Board of Directors for multiple boards.

Nicole earned a Master of Science Degree in Mental Health Counseling and is a member of the National Board for Certified Counselors. She is credentialed as a Licensed Professional Counselor in Wisconsin and a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor in Minnesota.
