More about Nancy

  • 22 years' experience
  • Female
  • LPC

Welcome! I am a Licensed Professional Counselor with over 20 years of experience in just about every mental health setting. My specialty is in Trauma Informed therapy, working with clients with symptoms of Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder. In addition to trauma and abuse, I work with individuals struggling with anxiety, depression, compassion fatigue, grief and loss, issues with negative self-talk, motivation, self-esteem and confidence, family conflict, stress and life changes. I use an integrative treatment approach, focusing on the balance of spirit, soul and body, tailoring the method of therapy to your individual personality and needs. If you are seeking any kind of emotional healing or inner healing, look no further. I have a personal and deep understanding of the courageous journey you will take with this approach toward healing the wounds of the past.

I am patient and kind in the therapeutic relationship. I want you to "come as you are" and feel accepted and free to reveal yourself at your own pace. I know it is difficult sometimes to even know where to start on the healing journey, and I will meet you where you are. I have been described as a joyful person who creates a peaceful and safe space for vulnerability. I hope you take the opportunity to join me there.

About online counseling

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.

I cannot thank or recommend Nancy enough- she truly changed my life and has been such a guiding supportive ear to help me overcome childhood trama and become the mother I desperately want to be without having an example!

Nancy is extremely compassionate and genuinely takes the time to listen to my concerns. She helps me navigate my thought processes and gives me the space I need to process things at my own pace.

Extremely helpful and very professional

Reviewed March 2022

Nancy is a perfect balance of compassion and logic as a counselor. She knows how to actively listen with compassion but also knows how to get down to business and actively use a therapeutic approach to produce results. She is soft and tender when I’m on the more fragile side and also challenges me when I need to be challenged. She feels safe, which for me is so important. I would definitely recommend her as a counselor!

Reviewed February 2022

Nancy is incredible! She is so gentle and her energy is very maternal in a healing and warm way. Nancy has already helped me see how softening and letting go of anger (which anger can feel empowering!) is a true form of healing from trauma. I really appreciate her approach and I enjoy talking to her. She is very open and I wish she lived in CA so I could have in-person sessions with her :) So happy I have signed up!
