Hi, I’m Nicole.

She/her, Licensed Clinical Social Worker in San Francisco.

I work virtually with people throughout California.

What Brought Me Here

I witnessed a loved one’s healing journey when I was very young, which seeded a lifetime curiosity about the conditions that allow people to be present, vulnerable and to heal together.

Since then, I’ve continued to seek places in life where I feel this open-heartedness - where people cultivate community, authenticity and inclusive joy. I’ve learned that pleasure and joy are critical pieces of evolution, and we go farther when we go together.

I’ve been a social worker for almost a decade in a range of settings: a high-acuity community mental health clinic, county jail, and street and community outreach. This makes challenging oppression and societal marginalization a core element of how I work.

I also intimately understand the experience of functioning at a high level for years before realizing something needed to shift.

I’m passionate about helping people find right relationship with themselves, their loved ones, their community, and with the natural world around them. 


I’d love to share what I’ve learned with you.
