About Nicole

Greetings, I am a CCAR, CASAC, CPP, CPS Certified Recovery and Life Skills Coach. As a result of an accumulated 18 + years in the mental health industry I am a skilled motivational group leader, unit counselor and caregiver, in clinical, residential treatment, and private duty home settings. I have worked via agency in many well-known hospitals and psychiatric facilities such as T. I. R. R., Health South, Champions Christian Academy, the Sharma Foundation(Forest Springs Hospital)and Riveredge Hospital. I am knowledgeable in holistic approaches to mental and spiritual healing and I am a graduate of the Landmark Forum and a participant in the production program. Many of my skill sets are derived from a wide range of working experiences that include marketing and management skills learned while I worked at Chicago Economic Development Corp as an assistant to the Director of Education and Training, as an Administrative Assistant for Ald. Ed Smith at C. A. M Center for Human Development. Last but not at all least, for many years I had been a homeschooling, single mother of a special needs child who now works in her chosen field. Soon to empty Nester with Make Ready experience.
