Her background includes a Master’s degree in Counselling Psychology and certification as a level two Clinical Trauma Professional (CCTP-II). She is adept at treating complex trauma, PTSD, and dissociation across different age groups, including children, youth, and adults.
Nicole is known for her empathic and warm approach, which fosters a nurturing therapeutic environment essential for building strong therapeutic relationships with her clients. She is dedicated to delving into the root causes of her clients’ current struggles and supporting them comprehensively on their journey toward mental, emotional, physical, and spiritual wellness.
Throughout her years of practice, Nicole has effectively addressed a wide range of issues, including anxiety, depression, suicidal thoughts and behaviours, self-harm, chronic physical pain, post-traumatic stress, addiction, anger management, rage, grief and loss, ADHD, borderline personality disorder, and bipolar affective disorder.
In addition to her work with individuals, Nicole has substantial experience working with families dealing with trauma, grief, and loss, particularly related to issues such as the passing of loved ones, challenges in foster care, adoption, and attachment difficulties. She excels in helping parents understand their children’s complex behaviours and offers attachment-based strategies aimed at enhancing overall family well-being.
Nicole typically prefers to work with caregivers and younger children together, but she is also open to providing individual therapy for children under the age of 13, depending on the specific needs of each case.
