About My Clients
My clients and I work on issues stemming from depression, anxiety, neurodivergence, and life changes. While I work with all identities, I specialize in working with clients from the LGBTQIA+, Kink, and CNM/Poly communities.

Nico specializes in working with individuals within the LGBTQIA+ community, with emphasis on those experiencing stage-of-life changes, anxiety, and depression.
My Personal Beliefs and Interests
How often do you get to share what's on your mind without fears of judgment, damage to relationships, or raising concern? For many, therapy offers freedom from these fears for the first time in their life. Whether you're having concerns about work, school, relationships, or the state of the world, we can process them together. I believe that you are the expert of your own story. For many of us in the LGBTQIA+, Kink, and CNM communities, there is an understandable need to find affirming care. In my practice, I strongly believe you shouldn't have to explain the basics of your identities to your therapist. Instead, your lived experience of these identities showcase how you want to live, your values, strengths, and how you engage with the world around you. Your identities may not be the cause of your concerns, but they may be the solution. I appreciate how difficult it is to reach out and ask for help, but I am happy to answer any questions you may have.
