Therapy that’s honest, steady, and trauma competent.

Nikki is a trauma therapist, consultant, and educator with advanced training in EMDR and complex trauma. Her work is focused on adults who are ready to engage in trauma-based treatment, including survivors of abuse, first responders, and professionals affected by chronic stress and institutional injury.

Her approach is direct, structured, and grounded in how the nervous system adapts to threat and long-term stress. Therapy is not about symptom management alone—it is about understanding how protective responses developed and helping the system respond differently when those responses are no longer needed.

EMDR is used as a foundational treatment lens, supported by regulation-focused and trauma-competent strategies. Sessions are intentional and paced for safety rather than emotional flooding. Clients can expect clear expectations, collaborative goal-setting, and honest communication about progress and readiness for trauma work.

Nikki believes therapy should be steady, practical, and grounded in reality—not vague reassurance or motivational language. Clients are not rushed into disclosure, and they are not treated as diagnoses. This practice is designed for people who are prepared to do trauma work, not for those seeking only supportive counseling or symptom coaching.

Outside of clinical work, Nikki spends as much time as possible outdoors. She enjoys hunting with her three German Shorthaired Pointers, fishing, trail running, and disc golf—activities that keep her grounded and connected to the physical world outside the therapy office.
