Hi, I’m Nick.

Sometimes life feels like it’s written in permanent ink, especially when you’re carrying the weight of struggles and mental health challenges. But I believe that no matter what your story has been, you have the power to change it. With nearly 20 years of experience helping people through life’s hardest moments in a variety of professional capacities, I’m here to offer a compassionate, approachable space where you can find clarity and hope. I like to bring a mix of humor and real-life understanding to my work because I know it can make opening up, reflecting, and moving forward a little bit easier.

My approach is all about helping you break free from the chains that mental health struggles and past experiences can create. Together, we’ll uncover your strengths, reconnect with your values, and build a life that feels authentic and fulfilling. Whether you’re working through addiction, navigating mental health concerns, or simply looking for a way to live more fully, I’m ready to walk alongside you. With warmth, genuine care, and just enough humor to lighten the load, I’m here to help you rewrite your story and discover freedom so  you can live life on your own terms.
