She helps people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, anger, and addictive behaviors.

Nancy draws on several practical approaches in session. She uses client-centered listening to clarify what matters most to each person.

She holds a master’s degree in Educational Psychology with a counseling focus and a bachelor’s in literature and creative writing, which sometimes informs arts-based methods in her work. She is a doctoral candidate in educational psychology and adult learning.

Therapeutic approaches and online sessions
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and helping people set their own goals. In practice this means the therapist follows the person’s priorities and reflects back what matters most to them. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts influence feelings and behavior and builds practical skills to test and change unhelpful patterns. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, EMDR, is used to reduce the intensity of traumatic memories and the reactions they provoke; it is typically chosen when past events still cause strong emotional or bodily responses.Deciding which approach to use is part of the work together. The therapist will talk through options, try different methods when needed, and adapt as goals and needs become clearer. That collaborative process helps people find what actually helps them manage anger, stress, or trauma reactions.
Confirm the current session formats before booking, as this profile does not list specific delivery methods. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, allow a shorter check-in when needed, and avoid travel time. Many people find video sessions useful for face-to-face interaction, while phone sessions can be simpler when bandwidth is limited or a shorter conversation is needed.
