Online Therapy Across Oregon

Therapy that feels like a lantern in the dark;
you don’t have to find your way alone.

You are worthy of compassionate care and a space for healing that meets you exactly as you are

I’m Nicole, a licensed professional counselor who works with helping neurodivergent—especially late-diagnosed ADHD or autistic—adults with complex trauma who are struggling with relationships, disordered eating, burnout, or grief to reconnect with their bodies, create sustainable self-esteem, and build a more authentic, grounded life.

I believe that healing starts with being seen, acknowledged, and supported in the places where you’ve felt misunderstood, dismissed, or alone. By utilizing somatic, relational/attachment, and depth-oriented approaches to this work, we will explore the patterns, beliefs, and nervous system responses shaped by your past experiences—especially the ones that taught you to doubt yourself or disconnect from your body.

I don’t offer rigid solutions, “quick-fixes”, or pressure-filled expectations; I believe in collaborative, sustainable healing that honors your story and meets you exactly where you are.

Specializing in…

  • I believe that living in our society means that we are all exposed to varying levels of trauma over our lifetimes—either directly or indirectly, acutely or chronically—which can manifest in many ways where we may have been growing in systems that did not provide us what we needed or kept us safe. This leads to survival adaptations, often maladaptive, and over time, we may notice that these thoughts, feelings, behaviors, beliefs, or even relationships are no longer serving us, yet seem almost impossible to shift and heal from.

    I have extensive experience in understanding and working with trauma, including complex trauma presentations. Complex trauma is often seen as trauma that’s chronic, ongoing, or involves multiple overlapping experiences, often occurring in relationships and in childhood, where the trauma manifests in the body long after the events have ended. I help you untangle survival patterns, understand your parts, and build steadiness so you can live from a more grounded, authentic place.

  • As a Certified Body Trust® Provider, my work in body neutrality and disordered eating is rooted in attunement, dignity, and a deep respect for your lived experience. Body neutrality isn’t about forcing yourself to love your body, it’s about relieving the pressure to feel any certain way and instead building a steadier, more compassionate relationship with yourself and your body. In our work, we explore what it’s like to inhabit your body with less judgment and more curiosity, gently reconnecting with sensations and cues that may have been overridden or distrusted for years.

    Because complex trauma, neurodivergence, and grief often intertwine with body image experiences and disordered eating patterns, I approach this work through a trauma-informed, weight-inclusive, and anti-diet lens. Rather than focusing on control or “fixing,” we look at the emotional, relational, and systemic factors shaping your relationship with food and your body—offering space to unlearn harmful narratives, reclaim trust in yourself, and move toward a more peaceful, embodied way of living.

  • Navigating life as a neurodivergent person can feel alienating, confusing, exhausting, and isolating, whether you were diagnosed in childhood or not. I support neurodivergent folks, often late-diagnosed and self-diagnosed ADHD and autistic adults in understanding their wiring, calming overwhelm, honoring their needs, and ending cycles of burnout.

    Together we explore nervous system patterns, barriers you’re bumping into, and the impact of a world that wasn’t built with neurodivergent brains in mind. My approach centers self-compassion, sustainable systems, and helping you build a life that works with yourself.

  • When working with trauma and neurodivergence, grief is going to be present in our lives. Grief is not something to “get over”—it’s something we learn to carry. I offer a compassionate space to honor your loss, understand what grief is asking of you, and move gently toward integration and meaning as it feels natural to you.

    We will explore for how grief lives in the body, how it shapes relationships, and how to make room for both pain and healing as they live alongside each other with grief. My work with grief centers tenderness, pacing, and helping you stay connected to what anchors you as you navigate life after loss.

You’re done surviving,
but unsure where to go next


Often with trauma, grief, and neurodivergence, you may be feeling like no one really understands you or what you’re going through.

Many of my clients come to therapy after years of trying to figure themselves out through traditional therapy, self-help, or sheer grit. They’re often late-diagnosed or self-identified ADHD or autistic adults who have learned to mask, over-function, people-please, and hold everything together. Still, they can’t help but wonder why healing—and life—feels so hard and draining, like everyone else has some secret guidebook showing them the way.

I work with those who are deeply self-aware, often exhausted, and may be disillusioned by past therapy experiences that have felt too surface-level, too confining, pathologizing, or didn't quite "get it".


You may feel like you are…


  • carrying the weight of your past alone, and you’re exhausted from holding it all together.

  • overwhelmed by relationships or the constant pressure to show up in ways that don’t feel natural to you.

  • disconnected from your body or your needs, moving through life in survival mode rather than feeling genuinely present.

  • stuck in old patterns, cycles, or coping strategies you don’t want or need anymore—but unsure of what to do or where to go.
