I EMPOWER PEOPLE TO DEEPEN THEIR CONNECTION TO THEIR TRUE SELF SO THEY CAN TRANSFORM THEIR LIVES AND THE WORLD AROUND THEM. 

As a Transpersonal Psychologist and Internal Family Systems (IFS) practitioner, my work is rooted in the belief that true transformation comes from within. I blend scientific knowledge with practical experience to offer a unique, integrative approach to healing that meets you wherever you are on your journey.

Hello

I'm Nicole!

My journey into this work is deeply personal. Growing up in a small town, I followed the traditional path laid out before me, unaware of what I truly wanted. After a decade in the corporate world, climbing the advertising ladder, I realized I didn't know who I was. I had achieved external success but felt profoundly disconnected from my true self. This realization hit hard when I was let go from a job and couldn’t answer the question, “Who am I, and what do I want?”

This moment of crisis became a catalyst for profound change. It led me to embark on a path of personal and professional transformation, seeking answers and aligning my life with my genuine desires. Today, I share this journey with my clients, guiding them to explore their inner worlds, uncover their authentic selves, and live lives of purpose and fulfillment.

Unlike traditional talk therapy, my approach is deeply experiential. I believe true healing happens not just through conversation, but by engaging in practices that allow you to explore and embody your inner truths. My work involves guiding you through profound experiences—whether it's through IFS, transpersonal psychology, transformative coaching, or psychedelic exploration —that help you do deep, meaningful work.

 

Together, we go beyond the surface to uncover and heal the core layers of your being.

In my practice, I draw from diverse experiences and training, including a Master’s degree in Spirituality, Consciousness, and Transpersonal Psychology and certification as a Professional Coach by the International Coaching Federation. My work is informed by my own deep exploration of various healing modalities—holotropic breathwork, IFS, family constellations, reiki, and psychedelic ceremonies, among others. These experiences have shaped my understanding of the psyche and the power of experiential work in facilitating lasting transformation.

Whether you seek to explore your inner world, navigate a life transition, or integrate a profound experience, I’m here to support you in uncovering your genuine self and living a life of purpose and fulfillment.

 

Together, we can bridge the gap between science and spirituality, theory and practice, and help you connect with your inner healer.
