Meet Nicole

My experiences and interests give me a unique understanding of…
  • The emotional shifts, identity renegotiation, and pressures of "holding it all together" that come with matrescence and postpartum, something I'm currently navigating myself as a new mother

  • The difficulty of setting boundaries, balancing work-life responsibilities, and the mental load, burnout, and invisible labour often carried by women and those in helping roles, with which I resonate as a wife, caregiver, and empath (at home and at work).

  • The demands of a high-achieving mindset, informed by my experiences as the daughter of business owners and an avid entrepreneur myself.

  • The experience of being a high-functioning individual who struggles internally.

  • The challenges of running a business or holding leadership roles while managing emotional and relational demands.

  • Long-term relationship dynamics, informed by my 13-year partnership and 4-year marriage, including the process of rebuilding trust and emotional safety.

  • How intergenerational narratives, family systems, and cultural expectations can shape identity and mental health.

  • Grief related to miscarriage, unmet expectations, or major life transitions.

My cultural or ancestral background is…
  • Canadian-born with European (Portuguese) ancestry; second-generation daughter of immigrants

  • Open to conversations around cultural identity, belonging, and navigating cross-cultural or intergenerational dynamics

My clients describe me using words like…
  • Compassionate, warm, and calming

  • Insightful, thoughtful, and intuitive

  • Honest, transparent, and direct when needed

  • Non-judgmental, validating, and supportive

  • Person-centred, collaborative, and empowering

  • Trustworthy and relatable

Booking FAQ

Does Nicole offer direct billing with my insurance? Or how does payment work?

First Session charges each session directly to your credit card. Once each session occurs and your card is charged, you’ll receive a PDF receipt by email with all the details you need to get reimbursed (therapist name, designation, license number, address, etc.). You can then submit the receipt to your insurance company for reimbursement if you have coverage. We always recommend checking your coverage with your provider before booking.

How do I know if Nicole is a good fit?

You are the expert when it comes to knowing who’s the right fit. Watch the therapist’s video at the top of their profile and see whether the message and energy resonate. If you feel drawn to speak with them, listen to your gut — booking a free consultation is a great first step to assess fit.

What if I see no available times to book a session?

If the therapist is listed as accepting clients and you see no available times, it’s likely they haven’t updated their availability (sorry about that!). In this case, you can to see what times they have available.
