Introduction

Hi! I'm Niki—a former dating journalist turned licensed marriage and family therapist. I work really well with people who have relationship-focused anxiety helping them develop two game-changing skills: self-regulation, so you can think clearly and respond intentionally, and relational intelligence, so you can build meaningful connections without losing yourself. Together, we work on practical strategies you can use in everyday life to reduce stress and strengthen relationships.
