Hi, I’m Nico, a Licensed Mental Health Counselor Associate in Washington State. If you’re seeking support for addiction, compulsive behaviors, general mental health concerns, or navigating a life transition, you’re not alone—and you don’t have to figure it out on your own. I work with individuals who are ready to better understand themselves, make meaningful changes, and move toward a more grounded and fulfilling life. My passion for working with addiction and compulsive behaviors comes from both lived and clinical experience. Whether you’re personally struggling with substance use or feeling impacted by a loved one’s behaviors, I offer a space where you can explore these challenges without judgment. Reducing shame, stigma, and guilt is a central focus of my work. I believe your story matters—and that it can be a powerful tool for growth, healing, and building a future that feels meaningful to you. My approach to therapy is collaborative and tailored to your needs. I integrate evidence-based practices including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and Motivational Interviewing within a strengths-based, empowerment-focused framework. I believe you already have the capacity for resilience and change, and my role is to support you in turning insight into real, lasting progress.
