Nikki is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist as well as Board Certified Art Therapist. Nikki has over 10 years of experience working with children, adolescents, adults and couples in various settings working with trauma, grief, depression, anxiety, eating disorders, personality disorders and addiction recovery. Nikki provides online sessions only.
While her therapeutic style lands mostly on a humanistic and compassionate approach, she is extensively trained in evidenced based practices such as Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT).
In addition, Nikki uses mentalization techniques with her clients, focusing on building the ability to reflect on or understand one’s own or others’ mental states that underlie patterns and ways of functioning. Building skills like this result in an increased level of emotional regulation and, in turn, sense of well-being. Though Nikki works with a range of people from childhood to adulthood, she finds a great deal of success and richness in working with adolescents and young adults transitioning into adulthood.
