About Nichole
Hi, I'm Nichole — an Emotional Intelligence coach based in San Antonio, Texas. Before I had a degree in psychology, I spent 20 years as a hairstylist holding the most honest conversations of my clients' lives in my chair. That's where this work began — long before it had a name.
Today, I help individuals, couples, and special needs parents navigate attachment styles, communication breakdowns, burnout, and life after hard experiences — the patterns and wounds running underneath, at the root level. As an emotional intelligence coach and an LCDC Intern (Licensed Chemical Dependency Counselor Intern) in Texas, I also walk alongside veterans, survivors, and anyone rebuilding their sense of safety after something that changed them.
I'm also a mother to a child with special needs — so when I sit with the parents in my coaching practice, I get it. Not from a textbook. From a life lived.
If you're tired of surface-level advice and ready for something that actually moves the needle, I'd love to meet you here.
Client story
"Due to my past trauma, I was at a point in my life where I was very quick to run away in my relationships instead of working through issues. Nichole helped me realize how important it is to communicate what I'm feeling rather than keeping everything bottled up. She guided me to approach things with a more mature mindset and showed me the value of understanding and patience. I still fall short at times, but I always go back and think about what I've learned. When I need guidance, I don't hesitate to reach out and talk things through with Nichole. She is incredibly caring and supportive, and I truly feel blessed that she came into my life when she did."
