I practice a modality called Internal Family Systems. If you have ever thought, “Part of me wants one thing, and part of me wants something else” this is an example of IFS. We all have parts that hold our pain, that want to protect us, that save us in difficult times. Understanding your parts and letting your SELF be in the lead is critical to mental health.

My approach involves working from a sex positive focus, which helps individuals explore healthy sexuality as opposed to pathologizing or shaming their sexual behaviors. I help clients by exploring the underlying parts of Self that are driving compulsive behaviors; developing deeper connection in relationships; and finding ways to heal relationship wounds.

Nicole is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in the state of Missouri and holds a Master’s of Arts in Counseling from Webster University.

I work with adolescents, adults, and families who struggle with anxiety, life transitions, mood disorders, relationship problems, and trauma. I hold the following certifications: Autism Specialist, Child and Adolescent Trauma Professional, and Yoga Calm Youth Instructor. I am also trained in EMDR and clinically licensed in Kansas and Missouri.

While I see clients experiencing a range of issues, a good portion of the work I do focuses on trauma, identity, relationships, and sexuality. We look at the past and the present, and engage with kindness in all parts of our story to experience freedom and wholeness.

I specialize in supporting men who resonate with traditional masculine values, offering guidance for those facing challenges like sexual addiction, trauma, anxiety, anger, and relationship issues.

My practice focuses on helping men struggling with sexual addiction, sexual abuse and attachment trauma. These issues often involve tremendous pain and shame.
