Welcome! I am so glad you found my page and are interested in exploring therapy.

​

I'm Nicole, a psychotherapist in the LA area. My therapeutic specialties include supporting those who've had experiences of trauma, in particular sexual trauma, dating or domestic violence, and generational trauma. As a Second Generation Latina, I also work with my fellow Latines who are navigating the intersections of being Latine in the US. ​

​

My approach is holistic as I recognize and honor mind, body, and spirit throughout therapy. My practice is psychodynamic in it's approach, and I weave somatic interventions and provide a neuro-informed psychoeducation into treatment. In therapy we will learn the impact of past events on current ways of thinking, behavioral patterns, and attachment styles while improving connection with the body.

​

My practice is rooted in liberation which means I strive for an ever growing understanding of how various systems of oppression have impacted and continue to impact our collective and individual wellbeing. I continuously strive to reduce power dynamics inherent to therapy by gently reminding my clients they know themselves best, centering their therapeutic wants and needs, and supporting them to trust themselves more.    

​

This practice will always be a safe space for people of all gender identities, ethnic backgrounds, sexual orientations, and status.
