Get to Know me

My Approach

My therapeutic approach is collaborative, reflective, and non-judgmental, built on a foundation of openness, curiosity, and compassion. I believe that therapy can be a transformative experience, especially when you feel heard, connected, and validated. Together, we will explore, reflect, connect, and heal to enhance your overall well-being. My practice is trauma-informed, providing you with skills and resources tailored to your unique needs, all within a safe and inclusive space for everyone, regardless of age, gender, sexual orientation, race, or religion.

Nikita wants clients to feel comfortable bringing their whole selves into the therapy room and she invites you to share the stories that are important to you.

In our sessions, I strive to create a warm, unhurried environment where conversations flow at a pace that feels comfortable for you. I want to walk alongside you as you explore your journey, respecting your autonomy. Throughout my career, I’ve had the privilege of sitting with people during some of the most painful moments of their lives. I believe much of our pain stems from disconnection - from those we love and from ourselves - and that healing often occurs in relationship, including the one we build together in this space. I opened this practice to help others move from feeling stuck or overwhelmed to discovering a sense of security, connection, and worthiness of the they seek.

What I do

I work with individuals and couples who are ready to understand the patterns shaping their relationships - with partners, with family, and with themselves. A lot of my work sits at the intersection of attachment, trauma, and connection: why we love the way we do, why conflict can bring out our most defended selves, and how the beliefs we formed early in life still quietly run the show in adulthood.
