“Working with Nicole has been an absolute GIFT. Living with Long COVID, POTS and likely ME/CFS, it’s been amazing to work with someone who truly understands the ups and downs of chronic illness and the emotional and physical realities. Nicole is incredibly thoughtful, adaptable, and non-judgmental, and she brings so much compassion to her work. In all our sessions, she makes me feel heard and understood. But she doesn't stop at that, she challenges me appropriately and encourages me to explore new ways of thinking that have helped to support my recovery. She brings a wealth of knowledge and so many practical tools (the Emotions Wheel is my favorite!) that have helped me better understand my emotions, relationships, and goals—and how to hold myself accountable in healthy ways. Because of Nicole, I’m so much better at listening to my body, setting healthy boundaries, and shifting my self-talk to be kinder. More than anything, working with her has helped me feel less stuck and more able to move forward. I leave each session feeling grounded, supported, clear on what I’m focusing on next, and with realistic goals and action steps that actually feel doable. That sense of direction has been incredibly grounding and keeps me going between sessions. I feel far more confident and supported in my recovery journey, and I truly know I’m moving forward because of her.”
