More about Nicole
- 5 years' experience
- Female
- LMFT
Welcome! I am an LMFT with an experience of 4 years, and I received my Master's degree in California State University, Northridge (2015). I have experience working with a diverse population, including individuals dealing with anxiety, depression, trauma, and substance use. My approach is very humanistic and strength-based, and I like to integrate mindfulness as I find these tools beneficial for the wellness of the human mind.
I believe in the importance of authenticity, and provide a safe space for individuals to be their genuine selves. I am compassionate, non-judgmental, believes in the importance of humor, and a cheerleader of my client's life journey. I utilize approaches including cognitive behavioral, solution focused, humanistic, and psychodynamic therapies, but am overall eclectic and mold my sessions based on what would best benefit my clients.
I look forward to working with you and guiding you through making positive changes in your life!

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 one of the best therapists I've ever had the pleasure of having! I've grown so much and she was absolutely vital in these hectic life transitions. She's really helped me so much and I am so grateful BetterHelp was able to connect us.
Nicole is very attentive, I feel as though she has listened to my needs and has been very respectful of where I'm at personally. I find her very approachable and easy to talk with and she has went above and beyond to help me within the live sessions as well as in between them. During our session she is very patient and knows when to listen, when to jump in and how to help. Very happy I was matched with her as my therapist :)
