About Dr. Nicole
Welcome. I am Dr. Nicole, a licensed clinical psychologist (PsyD, MPH) and somatic yoga therapist (RYT-500). For years, I noticed a profound gap in traditional mental health care: high-achieving women of color were masterfully analyzing their corporate and academic stress in talk therapy, yet their bodies remained completely trapped in a physical cycle of chronic burnout.
As a woman of color myself, I know that the pressure to over-perform, navigate systemic microaggressions, and maintain absolute hyper-independence doesn't just exhaust your mind—it actively lives in your nervous system, your tight shoulders, and your clenched jaw.
I built this integrated practice to bridge that exact gap. By blending the evidence-based strategy of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) with the deep nervous system regulation of trauma-informed somatic yoga, I provide a premium, cohesive space where professional women can finally dismantle perfectionism, establish unapologetic boundaries, and fully reclaim both their peace and their power.
