About Nikki

I am a board certified clinical social worker with four years of practice experience. I work with clients at my private practice in Richmond Heights. I also offer telehealth. 

In therapy, I draw on my clinical experience and my academic background in feminist and queer theory to support and understand clients. My approach, therefore, is grounded both in understanding individual people and the larger social forces that construct and constrain an individual’s life path. My practice is LGBTQIA+ affirming and safe for exploring issues of race, ethnicity, and disability. 

Outside of my private practice, I work with mothers navigating high-risk pregnancies and addiction with the Perinatal Behavioral Health Service at Barnes Jewish Hospital.
