Our Service Portfolio
Somatic trauma recovery works with the body's own wisdom to resolve the hypervigilance, freeze and collapse that trauma leaves behind. Instead of retelling your story in detail, we follow your body's sensations and rhythms, slowly and carefully, so your nervous system can relearn what safety feels like. Nichole is a trained Somatic Experiencing Practitioner, and the pace always matches what you can tolerate.
IN SESSION:
Learning to notice sensation so your body becomes a source of information, not fear
Building resources: grounding, orienting, boundaries and supports
Moving through activation and shutdown a little at a time
Reconnecting with parts of you that learned to protect or disappear
MAY BE A GOOD FIT IF YOU:
Live with the effects of physical, emotional, sexual or developmental trauma
Feel anxious, numb or disconnected from your body
Found talk therapy alone hasn't reached what you feel
OVER TIME: more ease in your body, a wider window for big emotions, deeper rest and growing self-trust.

Can you imagine showing up for life fully present? With healthy boundaries and a sense of what is true for you? A sense of being fully embodied and in your power? A healthy sense of achievement and purpose? Fully connected to your pleasure, desire and aliveness? All without having to enable, be perfect, over function, or be “in control”?
Healthy EMPOWERMENT is about embodied power from within!
Healing trauma, breaking the cycle of codependence and Dysfunction, and reconnecting with your intrinsic creativity and pleasure, are incredibly courageous, and are…
the pathway to embodied empowerment!

Sessions begin with grounded conversation to check in on your experience. From there, Nichole guides you into body awareness — noticing sensations, breath, and emotional responses. Using somatic experiencing, creative practices, and mindfulness, sessions help you process stored trauma and cultivate a felt sense of safety and presence in your body. No two sessions are alike
-
Standard 1:1 sessions are 60 minutes. Extended 90-minute deep-dive sessions are available for those who want to go further. Nichole offers a free 30-minute consultation call before beginning work together.
-
The number of sessions varies depending on your goals and history. Many clients notice meaningful shifts within 6-10 sessions. Deeper trauma healing and sustained transformation typically unfolds over 3-6 months or longer. Nichole works collaboratively with you to design the right pace and container for your healing.
-
Weekly 50 minute video sessions. Sorry, no phone calls. We need to be face to face.

FAQs

I open to new clients every three months, and I work with no more than 15 clients at a time (as opposed to many therapists who have huge caseloads) so I can maintain a healthy work life balance, and show up to sessions fully present and well regulated. We will begin by having a free exploration call to see what working together would be like, and if it feels like a good mutual fit. If it feels like a full YES for us both, I’ll send you the new client intake forms including the coaching agreement, payment agreement, and intake questionnaire.

I am very privileged to have a high client retention rate. I have worked with clients for as short as 6 months and as long as 8 years. The average span of client relationships is 2-4 years, and is dependent on what we are working on, the growth and healing the client is experiencing, and their individual needs. In this work I prioritize working with clients who are committed to deeper work and aren’t in a rush to get healed. We are not here to fix or change things. This is about slower, but more comprehensive and sustainable healing and transformation.
-
You have probably seen lots of “high ticket” coaches and counselors offering radical and seemingly overnight transformations, but after years working with people in this capacity, I have seen one thing prove to be true over and over again: High ticket does not equate high value. And the quicker the “fix” the less likely it is to yield actual healing and transformation.
The work I do with clients takes more of a slow, steady and sustainable approach, allowing time and space for the the nervous system to align with ease and for new patterns to develop at a pace the client can actually integrate them. If someone is stressed out about affording counseling then we are already getting off on the wrong foot.
My base rate is $175 per session, which is slightly lower than the standard rate in the San Francisco Bay Area and Seattle. I am 100% committed to making my services accessible to people of who are often excluded (commonly marginalized people) from healing and growth work, so I offer a few sliding scale spots for women whose lives have been impacted by social and economic injustice, medical impairment, or other systemic/economic issues.
For those who are privileged with abundant financial resources, I offer the opportunity to donate to a fund that helps make sessions available to those who have less available financial resources.

We will begin with an exploration call to see if it is a good mutual fit, and if both of us feel like full YES, we will select a start date and I will send you all the intake forms.
How we work
Through the integrated disciplines of Mindfulness, SOmatic COunseling and Mentoring, you will forge a new relationship with the present moment, cultivate a well regulated and flexible nervous system, and learn to make authentic and empowered choices in your life.
Somatic Therapy
Drawing from the therapeutic modality of Somatic Experiencing (SE), a somatic approach to counseling and coaching can support the cultivation of embodied awareness, while simultaneously helping the clients resolve toxic stress patterns in the nervous system resulting from trauma.
Embodied Mindfulness
Through mindfulness, embodiment practices and meditation you will cultivate a new relationship with the present moment, learn to fully occupy the ground you stand on, and show up more fully for life. Mindfulness and getting present serve as the foundation for healing and transformation.
Your power is in being present!
Coaching is how we bring it all together.
By weaving SE and Mindfulness into coaching sessions clients find they are able to take action and create strategies for healing and growth that are grounded in present moment awareness, internal stability, and emotional intelligence.
