About Me

Hi, I’m Nina.

I’m an Associate Professional Clinical Mental Health Counselor (APCC #18911) with a Master’s degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling. I work with adults who are carrying trauma, relational wounds, religious harm, perfectionism, and the deep exhaustion that can come from always holding it together.

I have a heart for trauma survivors because I am one. I’ve also watched close friends and family members navigate the long road of healing. I know trauma doesn’t just live in memories. It lives in the body. It shapes relationships. It changes how safe the world feels. And I care deeply about helping people feel empowered, steady, and whole again.

My Approach

My work is trauma-informed, relational, and collaborative. I believe therapy should feel safe, human, and real.

You are the expert on your own life. I will never position myself as the authority over your experience. Instead, we work together. I bring clinical training and a deep understanding of trauma. You bring your story, your wisdom, and your inner knowing.

I move at the pace you set. We slow down when needed. We listen to your nervous system. We pay attention to what your body is communicating and honor those cues. A lot of our work includes nervous system regulation, building safety, and helping you feel more grounded in yourself.

I am warm, friendly, and nonjudgmental. We always come as we are. There is no version of you that needs to be cleaned up before you show up here.

And yes, we will laugh. Therapy can hold both depth and lightness. We can dig into hard things while still sharing our personalities and humanity in the room.
