Therapy that brings you back home to yourself.

Hi! I’m Nicole.

I offer anxiety and depression treatment for feral, neurodivergent adults in Maryland who are ready for a radical level of self-love.

If I had to guess, I’d say that you’re struggling with…

  • Feeling adrift or aimless amongst all the noise and expectations of modern life

  • Feeling angry at yourself for “flaws” that are just a normal part of being human

  • Constantly criticizing yourself for not being “enough”

  • Feeling haunted by the thought that you’ll never learn how to fully love yourself

  • The old story that you can’t have the life you want

  • Disbelief that you’re capable of change

  • The grief of the many losses caused by colonization

If I had to guess what you want more of, I’d say…

  • A sense of internal security that you can return to again and again

  • A sense of deeper connection to yourself, others in your life, the natural world, and maybe even the cosmos

  • A stronger commitment to patience in the healing process

  • A healthier relationship with grief, gratitude, and grace

  • A sense of trust in yourself to navigate challenging emotions and circumstances

  • A life lived from a place of love and hope, not fear and hopelessness

Is this you? If so, book a free 15 minute consultation with me to see if we’re a match.

Therapy Approaches

Parts Work

We are not just a singular identity: we are made of many parts. Parts work helps us to orient ourselves to our needs, wants, and capacities. It also helps us foster deep, life-changing self-compassion, and move forward out of fear.

Somatic Mindfulness

Healing requires us to be in our bodies and actually feel our feelings. This can be really uncomfortable! Somatic mindfulness helps us learn how to feel safe while being present.

Agency

Mental health challenges can make us feel powerless. Identity work involves increasing our agency by making intentional choices about who we want to be - even when we feel our worst.

Grief Work

We live in a society that resists loss and grief, but these are unavoidable parts of life. Doing the work to build a healthier, stronger relationship to loss and grief is truly life-changing. When we numb our grief, we also numb our joy.

Privilege & Power

Most therapists won’t talk about white supremacy and capitalism, but these systems inform our everyday lives - and, I believe, are the primary source of mental illness. These systems impact how we see the world and feel about ourselves, others, the world, nature, and the cosmos.

Story Work

The beliefs that run our lives are not always ours. Narrative or story work helps us rewrite these stories and change our beliefs into ones that actually align with who we are and want to be.

Radical Self-Compassion

Self-compassion, self-love, and self-forgiveness are learnable skills that get better with practice.

Spirituality

Religious trauma is real and needs healing, but it is also true that that connecting to something bigger has always been a part of being human. Connecting to nature, community, and ritual are technologies that help us regulate, make sense of a brutal world, and feel more deeply. What is sacred to you?
