“When you choose yourself, you show the world what you truly deserve”. Choosing ourselves is not always met with ease, acceptance, or understanding; however, it does notcome without reward! Welcome to the other side of life, where healing resides.”

Nicole is a self-proclaimed “hope dealer” with a passion for all things Black and mental health. She has gained unparalleled experience by working collaboratively with Indiana’s child welfare and juvenile justice systems for approximately 8 years. Her experience and areas of expertise include but are not limited to, abuse and neglect, post traumatic stress, race related trauma and discrimination, sexually harmful behaviors, mood and anxiety disorders, challenges with positive self-image, and attachment disorders.

Driven by ethics, creativity, and humor, she takes pride in creating a therapeutic space that resembles a conversation at your kitchen table. Nicole believes therapy should be an experience that allows you the unique opportunity to regain focus of the part of yourself that oftentimes gets lost in the noise of others. A space to reflect, release, and relearn. Life, responsibility, and finding matching socks is hard enough, therapy shouldn’t be too. At least not all the time.

Nicole is grateful to all of those who choose her to be their guide in their healing journey. And in the words of Lauryn Hill, “How you gon’ win when you ain’t right within?!” Here’s to no longer having to wonder. This time, Nicole says choose yourself.
