About Nic

My main focus is helping individuals and couples working through complex trauma, anxiety, burnout, and relationship challenges including sex therapy and infidelity. I have a special focus on working with LGBTQ+ clients as they explore themes of identity, sexuality, and life transitions. I also enjoy working with artists and creatives, and those healing from religious trauma.

I integrate post-modern approaches, somatic techniques, EMDR, and Internal Family Systems theory within a trauma-informed, anti-oppressive framework. My practice is sex and kink positive, and affirming of expansive relationship structures including polyamory and consensual non-monogamy, neurodiversity, and Health at Every Size.

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

Education and Background

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 affirmative care for LGBTQ+ clients, a focus that remains central to my practice today.

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