About Nicole

I’m a Registered Social Worker with a Master of Social Work degree from the University of Regina and nearly 20 years of experience supporting women, youth, and families through life’s most challenging and transformative seasons. My background includes work in mental health, addictions, crisis intervention, and school-based counselling, all of which shaped the warm, compassionate, and deeply relational approach I bring to therapy today.

In my private practice, I primarily support women who are feeling emotionally overwhelmed, depleted, or disconnected from themselves after years of caring for everyone else. Many of the women I work with are navigating ADHD, anxiety, depression, burnout, grief, trauma, caregiving stress, or the emotional and physical shifts that often come with perimenopause and menopause. They are often carrying the invisible mental load of parenting, relationships, work, aging parents, and trying to hold everything together while quietly struggling themselves.

I also have a special interest in supporting adults caring for loved ones living with dementia, chronic illness, or complex health needs. Caregiving can be deeply meaningful, but it can also feel exhausting, isolating, and emotionally consuming. I strive to create a space where caregivers feel supported, understood, and able to reconnect with their own needs alongside the needs of those they love.

My approach is collaborative, trauma-informed, and grounded in the belief that many coping patterns develop as intelligent survival strategies. Using my favorite modalities of ACT, Mindfulness-based stress reduction, CBT, DBT, and SFBT, I strive to blend warmth, empathy, mindfulness, and practical therapeutic tools to help clients better understand themselves, regulate stress, and move toward a life that feels calmer, more balanced, and more aligned with who they truly are.

Above all, my hope is to offer a safe, non-judgmental space where you feel genuinely seen, heard, and supported with a renewed sense of grounded identity.
