Let me introduce myself


I am originally from Virginia and have lived here in the Pinehurst area ​since 2021 with my husband and children.


I am a proud momma of 4 children-ages 21, 14, 10, and 7. My son ​serves in the Air Force and I am a huge supporter of our military ​members. My husband also served in the Army and I have personally ​seen the realism of PTSD and how it affects individuals and families.


I began my career working as an RN for over 11 years in different ​medical specialties. I ended up obtaining a Master's degree in ​Professional Counseling from Liberty University with hopes to learn ​the dynamics of becoming a counselor and offering more emotional ​support. These skills have allowed me to be advanced in my field ​currently of providing medication along with therapy.


I then proceeded on with my education and obtained a Masters of ​Science in Nursing at Regis College that prepared me for licensure ​as a Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner.


I am very passionate about my work and am so excited to meet with ​you!


While I give myself credit for my hard work, I could not have done ​any of this without God and the support of my family.


Here in the picture is Daisy, and you may find her in the office with ​me for our meetings. With that being said, if you have an allergy to ​dogs or prefer that she not be present, please let me know before ​attending the session.



“I am the daughter of the King who is not moved by the world for my ​God is with me and goes before me. I do not fear because I am His"- ​unknown.

I realize that no two people are the ​same and as such, tailor my ​treatment modality to meet the ​specific needs of my clients. ​Whether you are struggling with ​anxiety, depression, or any other ​issue, I will help you recognize ​underlying problems, fully realize ​your strengths, and adjust certain ​behaviors and thoughts to see ​things a different, healthier way.


My practice specializes in treating ​individuals ages as young as age 6.

I love to do therapy with my ​clients! We can not change ​our behaviors without first ​working on our thoughts.

FAQ

Individual Th​erapy

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is used to help you ​recognize negative thoughts that then lead to ​negative behaviors and emotions. Together, we will​ wo​rk on changing those negative thoughts.

Family Therapy

Family therapy is often needed in situations of ​divorce or to work on understanding each other in ​order to better live in harmony with each other.


Note: this is different then couples therapy.


Faith-Based Therapy

This is a faith based practice and therefore any time ​I can bring the Holy Spirit into sessions with us, I ​believe deeper healing will be done.


You do not have to be a Christian to come see me.


I will meet you right where you are in your struggle ​and trust that God alone will help me to provide ​love and healing. ​t​o​ all.



"Be kind and compassionate to one another, ​forgiving each other, just as Christ God ​forgave you". Ephesians 4:32

Hello friend. I hope you are well.


How are you doing today? Really....how are YOU doing?

Take a moment and breathe.

I want you to focus on the sounds that you are hearing, the way your ​clothes feel on your skin, and is there a certain smell in the air?


This is called being mindful. Mindfulness connects to the part of ​our brain that helps us focus and remain attentive.


https://www.health.harvard.edu/blog/can-mindfulness-change-​your-brain-202105132455


There are so many things that want to pull our thoughts away constantly... ​our jobs, family matters, health matters, politic issues, the list goes on.


I am not saying you shouldn’t think aobut those things but if we are ​constantly letting our thoughts wander then that leads to stress and ​anxiety. When we can take just a few minutes to be in the moment and ​focus on something to be thankful for- this can be as simple as just being ​able to have breath in your lungs- then we can change our brain to learn ​to relax more and can think more clearly.


Try it today, try it now!


Peace to you,


Nicole
