HELLO, I'm Nichole.

Socrates believed that wisdom begins not with certainty, but with curiosity. We spend much of our lives searching for answers—how to feel better, how to make the right decision, how to repair a relationship, how to find meaning after loss. Yet some of the most important moments of growth begin when we allow ourselves to slow down, sit with uncertainty, and give ourselves permission to pause and make sense of experiences that may have been carried alone for far too long.

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and psychotherapist with over 10 years of experience helping individuals navigate life's challenges, transitions, and uncertainties. My work is grounded in curiosity, genuine human connection, and a deep respect for each person's unique story.

I earned my undergraduate degree in Political Science and my Masters in Social Welfare from the University of California, Berkeley. Early in my career, I worked for the Department of Veterans Affairs, supporting veterans living with chronic medical conditions and PTSD. I later transitioned to Stanford Health Care, where I provided psychotherapy services within a dedicated clinic serving employees of Cisco Systems.

In addition to my clinical practice, I provide crisis management following traumatic and disruptive events in workplaces and communities. These experiences have given me the honor of working with people from diverse backgrounds as they navigate adversity, change, recovery, and growth.
