Therapy Specializing in Relationships, Breakups, & Trauma EMDR Therapy, Attachment-Based Therapy, and IFS
for the heartbroken, overthinkers, and deep feelers
ready to heal their relationships—from the inside out.
Welcome! I'm Nicole
You’re not “too much.” You’re not broken.
But your relationships shouldn’t hurt this much.
Maybe you’ve spent years trying to be the “easy one.” You hold it all in, avoid conflict, or disconnect completely—because when you’ve tried to speak up, it didn’t go well.
Now, you’re tired. Lonely. Wondering if it’s you.
Whether you’re:
stuck in painful or stressful relationship patterns
healing from a breakup
struggling to feel close to your partner, family, or in new relationships—
I help people like you find clarity, heal old wounds, and be able to feel truly connected again.
Healing is a constant battle between your inner child who is scared and just wants safety, your inner teenager who is angry and just wants justice, and your current self who is tired and just wants peace." ~Brené Brown
My Approach
I work with people who are tired of repeating the same patterns in love and life, and crave healthy stress free relationships. People who are self-aware and emotionally intelligent, but still find themselves stuck in confusion, shutdown, or self-blame when things get hard.
I specialize in:
EMDR Therapy for healing relationship trauma and attachment wounds
Breakup Therapy for finding peace, clarity, and closure
1:1 Relationship Counseling to create deeper, more secure connection
Depression Therapy when emotional numbness or sadness starts to take over
IFS (Internal Family Systems) to connect with the parts of you that are hurting or protecting
Attachment Therapy to explore how your early experiences shaped the way you relate today
This isn’t just about “talking it out.” It’s about healing what’s underneath—so you don’t have to keep managing your pain by avoiding, overthinking, or people-pleasing.
