Meet Nicole

Behaviour Therapist
Hi, I’m Nicole, and I’m thrilled to be part of the Mighty Steps team. My journey in supporting children has taken me through various roles in home, school, childcare, and clinic settings, where I’ve been fortunate to help kids navigate challenges and celebrate their achievements.

Currently, I’m pursuing my Masters of Applied Behaviour Analysis at Monash University and working towards my CBA & BCBA accreditations. While my studies are a big part of my life, my real passion is in working directly with children who have Autism, ADHD, developmental delays, and behaviours of concern.

What Makes us Mighty?

What makes u

Mighty?

Our C.A.R.E values set us apart in everything we do

Commitment to Quality Over Quantity

We stay small by choice. That’s because we’re all about impactful therapy over number of hours, ensuring every child gets exactly what they need.

Approachable

Therapy can be simple (and fun, but more on that in a bit!).. Our services are based on the science of applied behaviours analysis (ABA), making them practical for day-to-day life.

Relationship-centered

We’re in this together! We know that success is a collaborative team effort, and we’ll proactively involve you throughout the journey.

Enjoyable

Child loves dinosaurs? We’ll study all the types. Obsessed with superheroes? We’ll save the day together. Therapy should be a source of joy for your child! We ensure our interventions align with your child’s interests.
