Counseling & Coaching Services for
Couples
Nicole offers premarital and marriage/relationship counseling.
Most couples spend more time and money planning their weddings than preparing for their marriages. Not coincidentally, many marriages end in divorce! Doesn’t it make sense to prepare yourselves as best you can for the most important human relationship you will ever have?
Premarital Counseling is highly recommended for couples planning to marry. Premarital education and marriage skills training are necessary for marital stability. It is beyond any doubt that the happily married couples live longer and are emotionally stable. Children from a stable family environment experience fewer social problems.
Common Symptoms of a Struggling Relationship:
- Lack of Communication
- Unhealthy Communication
- Financial Issues
- Trust Issues
- Infidelity
- Needs not met
- Lack of Intimacy
- Disagreements on Parenting
Counseling Purposes:
- Discover Love Language
- Determine Needs
- Re-gain Trust
- Establish Healthy Communication Patterns
- Breakdown Barriers
- Recognize & change dysfunctional patterns
Couples will walk through an assessment, questionnaire, and clinical intervention system from The Gottman Relationship Institute. This system is a powerful, research-based approach that helps couples gain skills which will empower them to communicate their grid-locked issues by uncovering their underlying dreams, history and values.
Counseling & Coaching Services for
Family
In today’s busy world, families often can lose touch with each other. This can lead to feelings of not getting along, arguing and frustration. Many families struggle with divorce or have difficulty moving past a painful event.
Family therapy focuses on improving communication, conflict resolution, and creating a constructive family environment.
For families struggling with divorce, we work to address the issues that arise during the process – for both adults and children. In the scenario where a parent is remarrying, we work to address the numerous issues which are overlooked and can arise when blending two families together.
Bringing two families together can be a positive experience, but for many, this time brings feelings of stress, anxiety, and guilt for both parents and children.
Counseling & Coaching Services for
Children & Teens
We believe in working as a team when treating any issues that involve your child. Children and teens often face challenges with self-esteem, encounter struggles with friendships, and struggle to develop their own identity. We create a comfortable and supportive atmosphere to work within, tailoring the therapeutic approach to the unique personality, needs, and concerns of your child.

EMDR Therapy
Nicole is an EMDR Trained Therapist. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is a trauma therapy developed by psychologist Dr. Francine Shapiro. EMDR involves recalling a stressful past event and reprogramming the memory in the light of a positive, self-chosen belief while using rapid eye movements to facilitate the process. Many people have found EMDR to be extremely beneficial.
One of the key elements of EMDR is dual stimulation. During treatment, you are asked to think or talk about memories, triggers, and painful emotions while simultaneously focusing on your therapists moving finger or another form of bilateral stimuli. In a typical EMDR therapy session, you focus on traumatic memories and associated negative emotions and beliefs while tracking your therapists moving finger with your eyes as it moves back and forth across your field of vision. Other forms of external stimuli that may be used in EMDR therapy include bilateral tactile sensations and sounds (e.g. alternating hand taps or a chime that pans back and forth from ear to ear).
At the time of a traumatic event, strong emotions interfere with our ability to completely process the experience and one moment becomes frozen in time. Recalling the traumatic event may feel as though the person is reliving the event all over again because the images, smells, sounds, and feelings are still there and can be triggered in the present. When activated, these memories cause a negative impact on our daily functioning and interfere with the way we see ourselves and our world, and how we relate to others.
EMDR therapy appears to directly affect the brain, unfreezing the traumatic memories, allowing you to resolve them. Over time the disturbing memory and associated beliefs, feelings, sensations become digested or worked through until you are able to think about the event without reliving it. The memory is still there, but it is less upsetting.
