À propos de Nicole

Dans ses mots

Nicole is an RSW (Registered Social Worker) in good standing with the Ontario College of Social Workers & Social Service Workers (License #855342). She received her Master of Social Work (MSW) from the University of Toronto and her Bachelor of Social Work (BSW) from McMaster University. Nicole has extensive clinical experience in gender-based violence, inpatient mental health, and various residential treatment settings. She received specialized training through the International Obsessive Compulsive Disorder Foundation (IOCDF) and completed clinical training at Canada's Frederick Thompson Anxiety Disorders Centre, the only treatment centre in Canada providing inpatient and residential treatment for OCD. Nicole is skilled in Exposure & Response Prevention (ERP) for OCD, OCDP, and Perfectionism. She integrates Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavioural Therapy (DBT), and Acceptance & Commitment Therapy (ACT) to help her clients develop practical, everyday coping skills. Her specialized training and ongoing education efforts equip her to help her clients better manage OCD, reduce time-consuming rituals, and avoid hospitalization. She recognizes that trauma often fuels OCD and incorporates an informed trauma-specific approach to support healing, meaning-making, and symptom management. She specializes in OCD, disordered eating, perfectionism, hoarding disorder, and gender-based violence, providing evidence-based care for targeting emotional overwhelm, interpersonal communication, compulsive behaviour, low self-esteem, intrusive thoughts, and the long-term impacts of trauma. She emphasizes the connection between OCD and disordered eating, helping clients build healthier relationships with food and their bodies. In practice, Nicole creates an integrated safe, collaborative, and non-judgemental space focused on strengthening self-compassion and normalizing moderation and imperfection. She guides clients to understand how OCD, trauma, and various life experiences affect mental health while providing quick and accessible tools to foster acceptance, creative growth, resilience, and meaningful change. She recognizes how challenging it can be for clients to reach out and supports them in building courage, confidence, and lasting growth at all walks of life.
