Hi, I’m Nicole

I am a Registered Clinical Counsellor and EMDR trained therapist in Vancouver, BC, who supports clients when familiar coping strategies are no longer effective. Many clients come to me during major life transitions or when past experiences, patterns, and relationships are affecting how they feel and function in the present. I work with people to make meaningful, sustainable changes that help them reconnect with their authentic voice, deepen their relationships, and feel more at home in their lives.
