No matter what you're going through, you don't have to do it alone.
Starting therapy can feel intimidating, and you don't have to have everything figured out before you begin. Together, we'll make sense of what you're experiencing, build practical tools, and help you move forward with greater confidence.
Hi, I'm Nicole
Licensed Professional Counselor, Michigan
I chose my career because a therapist changed my life. I know firsthand how meaningful it can be to have someone who truly listens, offers support without judgment, and helps you see a path forward when things feel overwhelming.
I work with teens and adults who are experiencing anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship challenges, life transitions, and many of life's other ups and downs. I believe therapy works best as a collaboration. You bring your experiences, I'll bring guidance and support, and together we'll find an approach that works for you.
Starting therapy can feel like a big step. We'll start where you are and move forward together, one conversation at a time.

FAQ'S
Questions you may have
Answers to the most common questions
How do I know if therapy is right for me?
If you're feeling overwhelmed, finding it difficult to navigate a season of life, or looking for support and a space to better understand yourself, therapy may be a good fit.
Is teletherapy as effective as in-person therapy?
Yes. Research has shown that teletherapy can be just as effective as in-person therapy for many concerns. Meeting virtually also allows you to attend sessions from the comfort and privacy of your own space, making therapy easier to fit into your schedule.
How do I schedule my first appointment?
Getting started is easy. You can schedule your first appointment online at a time that's convenient for you. Once you've scheduled, I'll be in touch with the next steps.
What can I expect in my first session?
It's completely normal to feel a little nervous before your first session. We'll spend time getting to know each other, talking about what's bringing you to therapy, and discussing what you hope to gain from our work together. There's no pressure to have everything figured out, we'll start where you are.
How much does therapy cost, and do you accept insurance?
I accept major insurance plans, including Aetna, Blue Care Network, Blue Cross Blue Shield, Priority Health, and United Health Care (UBH).
If your insurance is not listed, self-pay options are available:
Initial evaluation: $210
Regular sessions: $185
Payments may be made via debit, credit card, FSA, and HSA accounts. A sliding-scale rate is available on a limited basis.
