Hi! I'm Nic. I’m a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist working locally in Pasadena, and serving clients via telehealth throughout California.

My Practice

I help individuals and couples working through relational and complex trauma, anxiety, depression, perfectionism, people-pleasing, and relationship challenges (including sex therapy and infidelity). I have a special focus on working with queer and trans clients as they explore sexuality, gender identity, and life transitions.

In addition to talk therapy, I offer EMDR Therapy, consultation for mental health professionals, and supervision for graduate level AMFTs.

Education and Background

My first career was in the entertainment industry. In 2012, I began working at MusiCares, a nonprofit arm of the Recording Academy and the GRAMMYs, supporting music professionals through crisis, recovery, and preventive care. My time there ignited my passion for mental health, and led me to pursue a career in clinical psychology.

I earned my Master's Degree in Clinical Psychology from Antioch University Los Angeles, where I specialized in LGBTQ+ Psychology. As a queer therapist, this experience deepened my awareness of the lack of formal education in the field and the urgent need for affirming, culturally responsive mental health services. It shaped my enduring commitment to providing supportive, inclusive care for LGBTQ+ clients, a focus that remains central to my practice today.
