I have known I wanted to be a child psychotherapist since I was a child myself.

When I was 8, I remember thinking I would either be a pediatrician or a child psychologist.

But it wasn’t until I turned 10 that an “incident” set me on the path to becoming a child psychologist.

My youngest brother was a clumsy 1-year old and had fallen and scraped his knee. Imagine this little girl, cleaning her brother’s wound, putting antibiotic cream on it and bandaging it for him, all the while she had a pit in her stomach. Not nausea at the sight of blood but a feeling I could not name at the time. I now have come to know that feeling was empathy.

We met with Nicole after having social and bullying issues with our child at school. She provided helpful tools for us as parents to guide our child and provide them with confidence to speak out. Nicole listened to us and was very encouraging on how to handle our situation. We were very happy to meet with her and would recommend her to others!

“When my daughter turned 3, I felt completely overwhelmed and defeated as a mother, with our lives revolving around her mood. Nicole stepped in and provided invaluable support, collaborating with medical, educational, and extended family teams. She listens patiently, offers non-judgmental support, and allows us the time to find solutions at our own pace. Acting as a thoughtful partner, she provides research-based interventions that have been instrumental in our journey. Even now, with my daughter at 12 years old, Nicole continues to be a lifeline for our family, and we are forever grateful for her presence.”

I can’t begin to express the deep transformation that occurred in every aspect of my life

Nicole gave us the tools we need to help better parent our boys. The teenage years are very hard, and it’s been invaluable to have Nicole as a resource for both our kids and for us parents.
