Nick has two primary focuses in therapy: men experiencing a life transition and adolescents needing support with self esteem and emotional regulation.
Nick specializes in men experiencing life changes within their career or family structure (like divorce or becoming a new parent). These men are deep thinkers who are seeking to clarify their purpose in life while managing all of the uncertainty that change brings. Within career changes, Nick has a specific understanding of the tech workplace and exploring the existential concerns about finding fulfillment with one’s career. Similarly, he acknowledges that during these transitions, one’s sense of identity or self-confidence can be shaken. He values helping those with the exploration of aligning one’s work, values, and authentic self.
With teens and kids, Nick has a particular focus on supporting adolescents with their big feelings and challenges with adjusting. He helps children adjust to parents’ divorce or the loss of a loved one, and helps build a kid’s confidence at school by increasing their self-expression. He is patient, compassionate, and curious when working with kids - and is patient, compassionate, and curious when supporting their parents. He wants to provide a safe space that allows for clients to grow into more peace and joy.
Nick’s therapeutic approach is trauma-informed and grounded in relational psychodynamic therapy, which emphasizes the transformative power of the therapy relationship itself. He believes that by cultivating a space of safety, trust, and attunement, clients can begin to explore the depths of their inner world and gain valuable insights into the patterns, beliefs, and experiences that shape their lives.
Beyond his clinical work, Nick is a dedicated father and an avid explorer of the Pacific Northwest. He finds great joy and renewal in spending time outdoors, whether running, cycling, or hiking. He loves visiting new restaurants and having great conversations with friends.
