Nicole is a firm believer that there is no one right or true way to engage in therapy. Every person comes with a set of their own unique life experiences, which requires an individualized take on achieving personal goals and overcoming identified barriers.

Her approach is founded in an evidence and strength based practice, all the while focusing on you and where you are in your journey. You will work together to create a safe and empowering environment. You will receive support in gaining insight, developing coping mechanisms and strategies and strengthening the foundation of your authentic self.

Nicole has extensive experience in the child welfare sector supporting youth, adolescents, adults, individuals and families both in crisis as well as in a supportive therapeutic role on a long term basis. 

Through Nicole’s own personal experiences, she has developed a passion in supporting those experiencing infertility. She recognizes that despite similarities, each person’s experience through a fertility journey is completely unique and takes an empathic informed approach to supporting individuals, their partners and families through this journey. 

Sessions not only provide the opportunity to work on goals, celebrate successes and target identified struggles. They can also be used as a chance to debrief on impactful experiences that are encountered throughout our work together. Nicole uses methodologies grounded in behavioural therapy (CBT & DBT), as well as Emotional, Attachment and Trauma informed approaches. 

Life isn’t always somber and serious, so when appropriate, Nicole strives to incorporate this mindset into our sessions. Humour can be so important in everyday interactions and can help instill a lightheartedness and sense of comfort in sessions.

The true purpose of therapy and her main goal is to help give you a strong sense of ownership in your life and understanding about your mind, yourself and anything else identified as important to you.
