Hi I'm Nicole

Therapy is a space to speak freely, listen to yourself in new ways, and explore desires that might feel different from what’s expected. Many clients I work with are Asian American adults raised by immigrant parents, often facing painful family conflicts that lead to distance or estrangement. As an individual or couple, you’ll find a safe place here to let your guard down and make sense of the inner chaos. For couples, I help create space for respect, honest communication, and renewed connection. With a psychodynamic and culturally aware approach, I’m curious about how your past and culture shape your present. Starting therapy takes courage—I’m here to support you every step of the way.

“Nicole helped me break free from old patterns. Her empathy and compassion made it easy to speak openly and honestly during our sessions.”
