My Approach

Private Practice

Aliquam placerat auctor suscipit. Nunc et nunc mauris. Proin pellentesque imperdiet sem.

Recognizing the limitations of traditional insurance-driven mental health models, Nicole offers clients more creative pathways to personal growth and healing, integrating multiple techniques like expressive arts, sexual health, and yoga into traditional therapy. Together, Nicole will work with you to uncover challenges and create a specific approach that best fits your needs and goals.

Therapeutic Approaches

Carnelian is a safe and judgment-free space for people of all identities. We all deserve the support and tools to live our most fulfilling lives, but we live in a society full of shame and barriers to access.

Expressive Arts Therapy

As a Registered Expressive Arts Therapist (REAT®), Carnelian can offer unique approaches to healing.

Sex Therapy

Everyone deserves to experience pleasure and fulfillment. Sex and desire are impacted by a complex combination of societal expectations, culture, belief systems, family, and lived experiences.

Yoga and Mindfulness

Anxiety, depression, stress, and other mental health challenges impact us physically because our minds and bodies are connected.

Our Services

Psychotherapy

Carnelian offers psychotherapy as a more traditional therapy option, and as a baseline in combination with other approaches.

Consultation and Training

Carnelian welcomes the opportunity to work with universities, organizations, businesses, and other practices...

Clinical Supervision

Carnelian can offer clinical supervision to students/apprentice practitioners. This is a unique practice, offering learning outside of traditional insurance-based practice.

Coaching

Carnelian also offers coaching to reach your goals. You may not be experiencing mental health challenges, but still feel stuck in your personal or professional life.
