About Me

Welcome! My name is Nicki and I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker. I have over twelve years of clinical experience working with clients throughout the lifespan. I specialize in working with women who are survivors of trauma, who experience mood and anxiety disorders, body-image issues, self-harm, and relationship issues.

My therapeutic approach is guided by current scientific research and individualized to meet the specific needs of each client. I am a Certified Daring Way ™ Facilitator and I utilize the work of Brené Brown in much of my therapeutic work with clients. I am also trained in Attachment-Focused EMDR and Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavior Therapy (TF-CBT). 

As a trauma-informed therapist, who aims to treat trauma rather than simply manage the symptoms of trauma, I am an advocate of the therapeutic use of psychedelics in psychotherapy. I have completed an 8 week Psychedelic Therapist Training Program through Salt City Psychedelic Therapy and Research (SCPTR). I have also done extensive training with the Psychedelic Somatic Institute. Please visit https://www.psychedelicsomatic.org for more information on this modality.

However, I truly believe that it is the client-therapist relationship that is essential for successful outcomes and the birthplace of change and healing.  It is a true honor to earn a client's trust and join them on their journey. As your therapist, I will support you with genuine understanding, compassion, and often times humor. I will also provide you with a safe space to take risks and challenge yourself. 

In my free time I love to be outside. Camping, skiing, hiking or just laying on boulders with my two kids, husband. and dog Tica! I also enjoy learning more about higher states of consciousness, the mind-body connection, and alternative healing modalities. Thank you for visiting my website. I hope to hear from you!
