These sessions focus on setting personalized, realistic goals to help individuals reach their maximum potential in terms of health and/or nutrition.

In addition to the above licenses and certifications, Nicole is also a Certified Ketamine Assisted Psychotherapist. One of her specialties in this area is preparation and integration sessions for clients who are using alternative treatment methods such as ketamine, psilocybin, traditional plant medicines or psychedelics.  Nicole operates under the premise that these alternative treatments provide an opportunity and gateway to healing as they help our brains form new connections and break old patterns. However, the real work and success of these treatments lie in the preparation and intention of the treatment as well as in the integration phase (intgrating new connections, emotions and insights after treatments; which can also maximize neurochemical changes and make new neural connections stronger and more permanent). Nicole offers preparation, guided treatment sessions as well as integration sessions to help clients make the most of their treatments.  

Nicole provides an individualized, traditional, yet holistic approach to healing. Each client will be given a customized treatment plan based on their history and goals for theapy. Nicole  often combines facets from all of her expertise and training to help individuals reach their healthiest and happiest potential.
