About Nancy

Background and approach

She aims to create a respectful and sensitive atmosphere that honors each person’s lived experience.
Her practice emphasizes individualized care; she adapts conversations and treatment plans to match a client's particular needs and goals. Nancy draws on approaches that encourage exploration of emotions, practical problem solving, and strengthening personal resources.
Areas she commonly addresses include chronic pain and disability, divorce and separation, isolation and loneliness, trauma and post-traumatic stress, and the psychological effects of prejudice and discrimination. Nancy invites people who are ready to pursue change to take the first step, offering steady support through transitions and coping challenges.
She highlights the importance of courage in seeking help and partners with clients to build greater resilience, improved self-regard, and more satisfying daily life.
How therapeutic approaches shape online care
Clients may encounter a few different ways of working in Nancy’s practice, each offering tools for particular struggles. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and shifting unhelpful thoughts and patterns to reduce distress and improve daily functioning; it is often useful for issues like anxiety, low self-esteem, and coping with life changes. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes empathetic listening and collaboration, giving space for clients to lead the pace of work while the therapist reflects and supports personal insight and growth. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) helps people understand and reorganize emotional responses, which can be helpful for grief, trauma-related reactions, and restoring emotional balance.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process rather than a one-size-fits-all decision. The therapist will explore a client’s goals, preferences, and circumstances together with them, adjusting methods over time to better match what proves most helpful. This flexibility helps ensure the work stays relevant to each person’s needs.
Online formats including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging provide practical flexibility for attending sessions from home or other settings. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules, maintain continuity during life transitions, and choose the mode of communication that feels most comfortable for each person.
