Hi.  I’m glad you’re here.  It means you’re thinking about working with a therapist, which also means you’re being brave (even if you don’t quite feel like it yet!).  It can be a process to find the right therapist.  There’s an undefinable something, a chemistry that needs to happen for the match to work. Please, give yourself the time to find the right fit. It’ll be worth it.

My name is Niccole, and I’m a Licensed Master Social Worker with experience supporting adults through a wide range of emotional and psychological challenges.  These have included grief, anxiety, depression, life transitions, post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD), and bipolar disorder. I hold degrees from Georgetown University (BSLA) and the Catholic University of America (MSW).

My therapeutic approach is rooted in psychodynamic therapy.  I’m always curious about how past experiences shape and inform our present patterns, beliefs, and relationships.  Depending on each client’s unique needs and preferences, I may also draw on evidence-based approaches from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Narrative Therapy, and Attachment-Based Therapy (ABT) to help strengthen coping skills, gain clarity, and shift patterns.

But what does all that really look like when we sit down together?  My most important job is to carve out a space in your world where we can meet with candor, kindness, understanding, and maybe even a bit of humor.  There we can pour out all the fears and frustrations, the whispered thoughts and loud emotions, the shames and the hopes.  Between us we’ll work through what hurts, explore what’s meaningful, and uncover what you truly need.  I do believe it is a task fueled by hope. Transformation can be quiet and it can be loud, but the shifts we see within ourselves always extend outwards to color the world around us.
