"My journey from secondary infertility to a successful pregnancy was the most difficult time in my life and you were there to help me through it. Your support group, individual, and couples counseling gave me hope and confidence to continue to pursue treatment. You were a vital part of my treatment and one of the reasons I am now the mother of two beautiful boys!
Nikki, from the moment I first spoke to you on the phone you made me feel like you truly understood what I was going through. It was so easy to talk to you; I really looked forward to coming to your group and then later meeting with you individually."

I have been a Licensed Clinical Social Worker for over eleven years. I received a Bachelor of Arts Degree in Psychology from LaSalle University where I graduated with honors. I earned my Masters Degree in Social Work from Rutgers University, and specialized in Children and Families. I trained under the world-renowned Dr. Alice Domar at the Domar Center for Mind-Body Health in utilizing mind-body techniques to enhance general well-being and fertility.

My professional affiliations include the American Society for Reproductive Medicine’s Mental Health Professional Group, the Mid-Atlantic Chapter of Resolve, The National Association of Perinatal Social Workers, and the Clinical Social Work Society of Delaware. I have also been appointed to the State of Delaware’s Fetal and Infant Mortality Review Team, and have a special interest in treating couples who have experienced 2nd and 3rd trimester losses.
I spent numerous years working in the adoption field conducting home-studies and post-placement visits for both international and domestic adoption. My career has been dedicated to helping individuals and couples choose how to build their family, and I feel strongly that everyone who wants to be a parent will somehow, someday, become a parent. Working in the adoption and infertility fields has proven to me that there are different paths that lead to parenting.
I attribute the success of my private practice to my own personal struggles with infertility and loss. I welcome the opportunity to help you through this difficult time, and look forward to establishing a therapeutic relationship with you as you move along in your journey.
