02 · In Nicole's own words

What Nicole says about the work

Reproduced in full and unedited - not summarised, not tightened, not rewritten in a house voice.

I'm a therapist dedicated to supporting individuals through some of life's most challenging transitions and emotions. With experience in addiction recovery and mental health treatment, I work with clients who are navigating complex feelings around guilt, shame, and self-worth.

My approach centers on helping you cultivate self-compassion and reconnect with your sense of purpose. I believe that healing often involves learning to forgive ourselves and others, and I'm here to create a supportive space where that work can happen authentically.

I draw on evidence-based therapeutic practices to help you move through obstacles with clarity and intention. Whether you're working through addiction, processing difficult emotions, or searching for deeper meaning in your life, I'm committed to meeting you where you are with genuine care and respect.

I'm honored to walk alongside you on your healing journey.

03 · What happens next

From this page to a first session

Nicole practises through BetterHelp, so the route in is BetterHelp's. This is that sequence, written by Maker Therapy from the platform's published process - not a description of Nicole's own practice, and not a promise about how quickly anything happens.

  1. A questionnaire, not a booking form

    BetterHelp opens with a set of questions about what you are dealing with, what you want from therapy, and any preferences on the therapist. You are not booking Nicole at this point.

  2. Naming Nicole specifically

    BetterHelp matches algorithmically by default, so asking for Nicole is a step you have to take. There is a field for requesting a specific therapist during sign-up, and you can switch afterwards from your account. Starting from a link on this page does not by itself assign you to Nicole.

  3. If the caseload is full

    You will be offered somebody else rather than put on a waitlist. Worth knowing, because it is easy to assume a match is the person you asked for.

  4. The first conversation

    A first session is typically history and orientation: what brought you, what has been tried, what you want to be different. It is also where the questions in the next section belong.

  5. If the fit is wrong

    Changing therapist on BetterHelp does not need a reason. A first session that does not click is common and is not a verdict on therapy. That option existing is the main practical difference between a platform and a private practice.

05 · Provenance

Where every line on this page came from

Nicole's name, credential, state, subjects, approaches and biography are read from BetterHelp's therapist roster, which Maker Therapy re-reads once a day; this page reflects the reading taken on 6 Nov 2026. The licence number and NPI are cross-checked against public registers.

The plain-English method descriptions, the first-session walkthrough and the questions are written by Maker Therapy and labelled as such wherever they appear.

Maker Therapy is not BetterHelp, does not take bookings, and has not met Nicole. There are no reviews or ratings on this page because we have no way to verify one. If you start therapy through a link here, we may be paid a commission - it does not change your price and it does not affect who appears here or in what order.
