More about Nicole

Hello! I am a Licensed Professional counselor in the state of Missouri with over 10 years of experience. I I feel honored to be able to walk with people through some of their most difficult times and help them find hope and healing in their lives, which may have felt impossible at the start.

My approach to counseling is to create an atmosphere where people feel comfortable enough to be genuinely known, safe enough for honest exploration, and supported enough to take new steps. I am a person dedicated to Christian faith and committed to helping each person find the wholeness and healing they desire. I glean from several counseling theories to tailor an approach that works best for you.

I have worked with individuals and families facing a variety of challenges such as depression and anxiety, relational and communication difficulties, trauma and abuse, grief and loss, marital and parenting struggles, and many other life situations causing people to feel stuck or empty.

Taking the step to try counseling requires a lot of courage, and I appreciate your consideration in allowing me to walk alongside you toward the change you desire.

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space. Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.

Nicole is wonderful and has really given me the tools that I need to learn and grow in a very difficult season of my life. Grateful to her.

Apr 2023

Nicole has been amazing. I don't know how and when it happened but my life has changed for the better. Just showing up everyweek. The good days and the bad. She listens in a way that makes you feel heard. She identifies the problem and helps you to figure it out yourself. She has empowered me in setting boundaries and accepting myself the good and the bad. She doesn't talk at you or give you advice. She guides you in making changes you feel comfortable with at the time and all the small changes add up. Thank you so much! Life actually feels worth living now

Dec 2022

I joined Betterhelp knowing that I wanted to find a connection with a professional who I could open up to and who would help guide me through life changes. Nicole has been an incredible resource to rely on and always has very thoughtful commentary. I would highly recommend Nicole, as she has been a constant for me during some major life changes.

Nicole is a warm and kind person who makes me feel at ease telling her how I really feel. She knows how to get to the root of my problems and problem solve, and I can tell she truly wants the best for me a really validates me and my feelings. I couldn't ask for a better therapist!

I’m so grateful for Nicole! When I feel my anxiety is peaking, her calm demeanor really brings me down . I’m grateful that she loves God and isn’t afraid to pray with me. I’m grateful that I feel safe and not judged in our sessions I appreciate her direction and encouragement

H.O.·Sep 2021

Nicole has helped me tremendously! Just after a short couple of months I have seen so much improvement in myself and in my life. She knows exactly what to say and knows exactly what I'm thinking when I can't seem to get the words out! I feel very comfortable and safe talking with her and am very happy to have her as my therapist. Thank you!!

Nicole is a real life angel put on this earth to help people. I'm so thankful for how's she's supported me in my transformation.

S.C.·Aug 2021

She is very understandable and helps you through your problems and your thinking process. Makes you realize what you need to do and take a couple steps back to realize what going with yourself or a situation you may be in. She also reaches out to you in a good timely manner for when you send messages to her.

L.I.·Jun 2021

Easy to talk to and her advice is relatable.

C.O.·Jun 2021

Nicole is so great! She makes me feel comfortable to talk to her and listens with compassion and empathy. I came to her not even knowing exactly why I started counseling and she helped me not only pinpoint my issues but guides me in how to handle things myself and gives me the tools and reassurance necessary to help me grow and become myself again. I truly do not know where I would be without her help these past months.

M.O.·Jun 2021

Nicole is a great listener. She has truly changed my life in a positive manner giving me tools to be successful.

S.C.·Apr 2021

Nicole is great! We have been working together over these past few months and she really does spend the time to listen and work through even the more complex feelings. She is super encouraging, nurturing, and sensitive to my needs.

T.A.·Mar 2021

I remember coming to BetterHelp because I believed that their app would allow for easy switching of therapists if needed, but what I realised is that my match with Nicole was perfect, she was just the person I needed to talk to about my experiences and feelings and is a very good listener and I always feel supported and more over she challenges me on some of my thoughts which won’t serve me in life, where they need to be challenged which I think is very important.

F.R.·Feb 2021

Nicole's ability to listen has helped me a lot. Every session she helps me to have insights and new points of view of myself and my life that even make me understand other people and my relationships with them better. From the begining she asked what I wanted and expected from the counselling, even asked how long I expected to do it for, and always respected and believed what I said. She not only listens, but make the right questions to take you further in direction of dealing with the problems you said you wanted to deal with or work on. She also make connections between things you say that aren't always obvious, sometimes that I would never had thought were related, sometimes I thought "this is obvious" but really how many years would it take for me to get to these conclusions? And would I know when I got to these answers? She is a great guide that I'd say could help anyone understand their situation and it's causes to then be able to work on it, or see it a different way. I highly recommend Nicole.
