Welcome. My name is Nicole, and I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist in both Washington and North Carolina. I specialize in couples, parenting, and family therapy, with a particular focus on supporting couples across the lifespan as they navigate conflict, communication challenges, and relational distress. My work is grounded in Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT).
I also work closely with parents of tweens, teens, and young adults as they face complex family dynamics, developmental transitions and setbacks. In addition, I provide individual therapy for adolescents and adults experiencing anxiety, depression, mood disorders, trauma-related symptoms, and disordered eating.
My approach is rooted in evidence-based practices, and I believe strongly in collaborative care—working alongside other professionals and viewing treatment as a shared process between therapist and client. I am passionate about this work and honored to support clients in their healing and growth.
