Nick is very easy to talk to, even on my grumpiest of days. He doesn’t make it feel judgy at all. Every week when I leave our session I feel honestly better than when it began just an hour ago. Nick has been helping me, with anger management, my relationship with my wife and my two kids, speaking with me as someone was holding my hand, talking with me through life’s difficult times, and I can’t thank him or BetterHelp enough.

Amazing listener! He truly knows what it means to be present. With him, you don’t just talk - you feel genuinely heard and deeply understood. That kind of presence is rare to find, even among therapists

- LMFT
I work from a client-centered approach, which emphasizes compassionate listening, unconditional acceptance, and therapeutic presence. I believe that one of the most essential conditions for therapeutic progress is being in a relationship where you feel deeply understood and emotionally safe. In this space, clients can explore their thoughts and feelings without fear of judgment, fostering the vulnerability needed for real healing and growth.

About online counseling

Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.
