About Me

Welcome! My name is Nikki (she/her) and I am a postdoctoral psychology resident who is passionate about supporting healing and growth through authentic connection.

My training/theoretical background is psychodynamic and relational-cultural, which emphasizes the intersection of self (e.g., identities) and environment (e.g., systems) as it influences how we view ourselves and those around us. We live in a world where we are constantly being told who we “should” be, how we “should” act, and what “standards” we are expected to meet. This can be suffocating, damaging, confusing, and disempowering. Whether these expectations, stigmas, stereotypes, etc. come from relational encounters, family of origin, or larger society, I work with individuals to begin breaking down that scar tissue so they can begin to heal, re/discover themselves, and to live more freely in the spaces they navigate.

Danbi 단비

Danbi is a Korean word which translates to “sweet rain,” or a “timely/welcome rain” following a long drought.

It symbolizes hope, renewal, and growth.
