Founder & Therapist

Nikkia is a compassionate and grounded licensed mental health counselor who specializes in working with individuals navigating attachment wounds, eating disorders, borderline personality disorder (BPD), trauma, and identity struggles. With a deep understanding of how our earliest relationships shape how we show up in the world, Nikkia approaches therapy through a systemic and attachment-based lens—helping clients untangle the patterns that keep them feeling stuck, disconnected, or overwhelmed.

Nikkia has particular experience supporting equestrians and those in high-pressure or performance-driven environments, and offers a unique understanding of how the mind-body connection, perfectionism, and unprocessed trauma can show up in both life and sport.

In her work, Nikkia integrates practical coping tools from Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), while always centering the therapeutic relationship as a safe and collaborative space. She supports clients in building emotional regulation, setting boundaries, working through black-and-white thinking, and developing a stronger sense of self.

Clients working with Nikkia can expect a therapist who is honest, attuned, and deeply invested in their growth. She is committed to helping people not only manage symptoms but also explore the deeper emotional layers underneath—so they can experience more safety in relationships, clarity in identity, and confidence in their ability to move through life.
