Nicole provides case management, crisis stabilization, and group facilitation services at Chuq’eya Qenq’a, Birch Tree House.

Nicole is grateful for the opportunity to be an ear to hear, to encourage un’ina, “those who come to us,” through difficult times, to provide support, and to celebrate their successes.

Nicole has 12 years of experience in assisting individuals through different stages of their lives, providing guidance and support while helping them maintain their independence in their community.

Nicole considers it an honor to support others through their most memorable joys, as well as times of sorrow, inspiring her to pursue a career in behavioral health. She enjoys the sense of community and family at the Kenaitze Indian Tribe, and finds it comforting to see different departments come together to work toward the goal of serving our un’ina.

When she’s not serving un’ina, Nicole enjoys spending time with her family, traveling to take in concerts, canoeing and photography.
