SAY HI TO NICOLE.

Our past–and how we each process it–can impact our present and impair our ability to function with resilience and ease.

I am an art therapist, adoptee, and artist specializing in working with adult adoptees. I aim to help you, fellow adoptee, navigate your adoption journey untapping your resilience, personal growth, and potential, and gently guiding you to improved mental health so that you can enjoy a more connected, meaningful life.

I love working with folks and folx who are motivated to dive deep - that’s often when you make the most progress.

Specializing in helping you embrace your most authentic self through a creative approach.
