I’ve really enjoyed having Nancy as my therapist for the past year. I feel like she is great at listening and is able to pick up on the things that I’m struggling with or want to talk about most. She’s always able to offer a new perspective, and often has a worksheet or exercise to offer that can help me think about things just a little bit differently, which I personally find helpful.

Nancy does a really great job. I’ve been using BetterHelp for the past few months after a pretty awful experience, and it has helped me a lot. Nancy offers a lot of different perspectives and worksheets that help me process my feelings in ways that I wasn’t familiar with before. I also feel like she really listens and responds thoughtfully, and it shows that she cares about my well being.

Hello, and welcome! As an experienced mental health counselor, I am here to provide support and encouragement to anyone who is struggling with difficult emotions, stressful life transitions, and/or interpersonal relationship issues. My approach to helping is integrative, person-centered, and strength based, and I have advanced training in trauma, CBT and DBT. Over the years, I've had the opportunity to support many parents and families through difficult times, providing gentle and compassionate parenting guidance. I originally studied nursing and practiced as an RN in the areas of pediatrics and mental health for many years before returning to graduate school to study mental health counseling. I attended Nyack College's Alliance Graduate School of Counseling, and I'm an LMHC in New York, an LPC in Colorado, and also hold national certification (NCC).
I'm excited about offering online counseling and look forward to coming alongside you as you move forward in your life.

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.
Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.

Nancy is amazing! the best
Nancy is very kind and she seems to be highly interested in learning about our issues and suggests things we can apply moving forward.
I have never been so comfortable with a therapist as Nancy. She doesn't waste time, she digs right down to learn about you right away. I have a lot of anxiety and fears, but I can tell Nancy anything. She's kind and caring and I never feel unimportant.
