We want you to get the care you deserve.
Devoted to understanding you.
The idea of In-Focus: Relational Therapy began a decade ago in Oviedo, FL. It has held many different forms over the years but the underlying premise is the same: a mental health practice devoted to understanding people and problems within the context of their various relationships and environments.
Demystifying therapy.
Today, the need for relationship-based therapy is at an all-time high. Whether it's a couple, a family, a social club at FAMU/FSU/TCC, or an individual struggling within their relationship, In-Focus is here to help demystify the therapy process and create a clear path towards change.
Meet Nicole
Born to British and Puerto Rican parents, Nicole initially came to Tallahassee to attend Florida State University in 2009 to study Studio Art and Psychology. She met her life-partner while at FSU where they bonded over Disney, Harry Potter (#Slytherin🐍), and Star Wars. She later went on to obtain a Master of Science in Marriage and Family Therapy from Valdosta State University in 2015.
Prior to entering private practice, Nicole worked in community mental health clinics serving military personnel and local families, in college counseling centers, with first responders, and in addiction treatment facilities.
Nicole's passion for relationships led her to pursue advanced training in Emotionally-Focused Therapy. She hopes to become a Certified Emotionally-Focused Couples Therapist within the next year. She is also trained in Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), which she uses to assist clients who have experienced trauma.
Her passion for relationships also led her to pursue becoming an American Association of Marriage and Family Therapists Approved Supervisor to help train the next generation of therapists.
In her free time, Nicole loves to go to the movies, experience the many amazing restaurants Tallahassee has to offer and to go on adventures with her partner and daughter.
“I’m passionate about helping others, particularly in their relationships, because I have witnessed the healing power of connection.”
