She works primarily in the community clinic setting, providing care to patients of all ages and backgrounds who may experience issues with access to healthcare as part of her service commitment.

Research/Academic Interests

Dr. Nichols' specialized focus include global health including refugee and immigrant services, psychodynamic aspects of clinical care, and reproductive psychiatry - among many others. She also has a clinical research interest on further improving the application of integrated and collaborative care, alongside her desire to support combined training through teaching and mentoring.
