About Nancy …

Taking the first step toward therapy is a significant decision, and finding the right therapist to walk alongside you matters. I believe that healing and growth happen within a genuine, accepting relationship where you feel truly seen and heard.

My approach is grounded in the understanding that we are all shaped by our relationships and environments, yet we each carry within us an innate capacity for growth and healing. Rather than trying to fit your experiences into predetermined frameworks, I work collaboratively with you to understand your unique story and support your natural movement toward healing and self-fulfillment.

Through our work together, you can expect to develop insights that lead to lasting change. Many clients find they become better at setting healthy boundaries, communicating their needs effectively, and making decisions that align with their values. You'll learn to recognize patterns that may be holding you back and develop new ways of responding that serve you better.

As your therapist, I create a space where you can explore your experiences without judgment, knowing that your responses to life's challenges have helped you survive and adapt. Whether you're seeking relief from immediate concerns or exploring longer-term patterns, I'm committed to creating a therapeutic relationship where you feel truly seen, heard, and supported in your journey toward positive change.

In our work together, you'll find:

• A genuine, present relationship built on mutual trust and respect

• Recognition of your whole self – not just symptoms or challenges

• Support for your autonomy and self-determination

• Understanding of how past experiences influence present patterns

• Appreciation for your natural resilience and capacity for growth

I work with individuals, couples, and families navigating life transitions, relationship challenges, identity exploration, and personal growth. My extensive background includes 15 years of experience supporting children, adolescents, and families across various settings, including schools and community organizations. This diverse experience enhances my ability to work with clients of all ages as they navigate life's challenges and transitions.

My goal is to help you move through feelings of overwhelm, disconnection, or loss of meaning toward discovering your inherent capacity for growth and living in a way that feels true to yourself. Together, we'll navigate your journey of self-discovery - with curiosity, compassion, and maybe even a few aha moments - as you create a life that feels more authentically yours. While we'll honor the depth of your experiences, don't be surprised if some joy and laughter find their way into our healing work together.
