Get to know Nick!

Nick’s journey to becoming a therapist started with a powerful moment – reading about a young boy who struggled with bullying and ultimately took his own life. This tragic event ignited Nick’s passion to help others navigate feelings of isolation, anxiety, and despair, guiding them towards self-acceptance and fulfillment.

But Nick’s interests don’t stop there! When he’s not counseling, you might catch him immersed in video games, tackling IT projects, or enjoying quality time with his significant other and their cats, Ollie and Bauer. Nick’s also a car enthusiast, often found working on projects with his brother Chris and their company.  When he needs to unwind, you’ll likely find him daydreaming about his next getaway to the serene Hawaiian Islands.
