I believe that everyone deserves a chance to be heard, to be the best version of themselves. I offer a platform that is tailored to the individual that is strength-based, non-judgmental and compassionate. Sprinkled with humor, I offer clients the opportunity to let down their guard, increase their own strengths and develop their own roadmap to success.
Nicolette attended the University of Northern Iowa and received her master’s in Clinical Mental Health Counseling. She specializes in working with life transitions, self-esteem, relationship issues, stress management, and anxiety/depression.
My clinical approach is genuine and non-judgmental. I meet clients where they are at and adjust my therapeutic interventions to the individual. I often utilize cognitive behavioral, mindfulness, solution focused, and strength-based techniques. I enjoy working with all ages and believe therapy is a collaborative experience where the client and I will work together towards their therapeutic goals.
