Empowering Women to Heal, Grow, and Thrive
Personalized, Compassionate, and Holistic Therapy Tailored to Your Journey. Serving the Women of California.
Be Unapologetically YOU
All women deserve a space where they can be unapologetically themselves, and that’s exactly what Nicole’s practice offers. In a
compassionate, non-judgmental environment, you’ll feel seen, heard, and valued as you embark on your journey toward healing. Nicole’s approach combines warmth, humor, and deep self-discovery, creating a refreshing and more comfortable approach for meeting your goals.
By uncovering the “why” behind your struggles, Nicole goes beyond surface-level solutions, and guides you toward long-lasting change. Every session is personalized to fit your unique needs, values, and pace, with a focus on holistic care that addresses the whole person—not just symptoms. Together, we’ll set goals, overcome barriers, and create the growth you deserve.
This is your space to feel empowered, supported, and ready to thrive.
Hey, I’m Nicole. It’s nice to meet you.
I am a Licensed Marriage & Family Therapist practicing in California with over ten years of experience. I began my career working with families of children on the Autism Spectrum and later became a program coordinator. My journey led me to San Diego, where I earned my Master’s in
Marriage & Family Therapy, focusing on community-based programs for underserved families.
Growing up in a multicultural family—American, Puerto Rican, and Guatemalan—shaped my passion for self-discovery and identity. I’ve experienced my own journey of finding a stronger sense of self, and now I’m dedicated to helping others do the same in a supportive, empowering space.
Specialties
-
Empowerment
Every woman deserves to feel confident, capable, and unafraid to express themselves. Whether you're navigating challenges, pursuing your dreams, or working to build healthier relationships, therapy can help you embrace your strengths and create the life you want. Together, we’ll work on helping you feel empowered in all areas of your life.
-
Freedom
Let’s find the real you again. Coming out of a toxic relationship or tough experience can leave you feeling lost, unsure of yourself, and disconnected from who you are. That’s normal. But you don’t have to stay there. Therapy offers a safe space to rebuild your confidence, reconnect with yourself, and start moving forward in a way that feels right for you.
-
Strength
When my mom was diagnosed with breast cancer, my family was left in a scramble. We all had so many emotions, but no time to process them between all of the medical care she needed. Frustrated with not being able to find the support she needed during her journey I was inspired to provide specialized support to those impacted by breast cancer.
My goal is to create a space where you feel supported and empowered to move forward with confidence and hope. You don’t have to let the past define you. Together, we’ll work to create a life where you feel strong, happy, and at peace.
