Hi, I’m Nicole!

I am a pre-licensed Marriage and Family Therapist with a passion for helping new moms reclaim their identity, reconnect with their partner, and build a strong foundation of connection with their children. In addition, I specialize in working with families, couples, and parents in staying connected through life’s biggest transitions, such as engagement, marriage, trying to conceive, pregnancy, and early parenthood. I utilize an attachment lens to help my clients uncover and break generational patterns to support them in building a life rooted in their values rather than familiarity.

Big life transitions can be both exciting and overwhelming. Maybe you are navigating marriage, postpartum, or parenthood, and alongside the beautiful moments that come with these changes, you are feeling overwhelmed, disconnected, and stretched thin. It can be disorienting to lose parts of your identity, feel the strain in your relationship, or notice old family patterns surfacing as you’re trying to build your life, grow your relationship, and family. You feel the push and pull of knowing these moments are fleeting and wanting to soak up every minute while functioning in survival mode and counting down until bedtime.

I know firsthand how challenging these chapters of life can feel. New parents always hear "it gets better," but you don’t have to wait for that time to come - you can create shifts now with the right support! I offer postpartum, parenting, and couples therapy for those in Tennessee. My approach blends compassion with practical tools to cultivate lasting change.

Sessions with me are a space to move towards authenticity over perfection and healing vs coping. I strive to help you understand the root of why you may feel stuck, while providing real tools to help you move forward. I would love to support you in ensuring your big life transitions become joyful life chapters, rather than seasons of survival.
