Explore your mind and embrace your heart.

You’ve been feeling stuck and burnt out.

Life doesn’t have to feel like you’re constantly putting out fires.

Are you self-aware but still finding it difficult to function on a daily basis?

If you're struggling with anxiety, self-esteem, or past trauma, you've likely thought a lot about what’s wrong and learned ways to cope that have helped you make it this far. However, you may find that you’re still facing daily challenges like feeling overwhelmed, overthinking, and being self-critical.

You need different strategies, perspectives, and support to help you overcome these concerns. We can get in touch with your core feelings and unmet needs so you can gain:

  • Understanding and acceptance of even your most painful parts.

  • Better relationships and work-life balance.

  • Greater emotional regulation and stress management.

Hi, I’m Nancy.

I’m here to help you tell your story, connect with your needs, and find better balance in your life.

My approach helps you build awareness and confidence by fostering a space for mindfulness, deep connections, and self-acceptance.

I'm collaborative, reassuring, and down to earth as I challenge you to unlearn messages and strategies that are no longer working for you.

My goal as we work together is for you to feel understood, supported enough to face some hard truths, and empowered to make changes!

How it works

Ready to get started?

Click this link to schedule a free consultation. From there, I will reach out to you to find a time that works for both of us to talk on the phone.

During the 15-minute consultation, I’ll ask you to tell me more about what’s been going on and what you’re expecting from therapy. Then I’ll give you some time to ask me some questions too. This way both of us can get a better sense of if we would work well together!

If we both agree it would be a good fit, we will schedule our first appointment and get started from there.

 You can feel more confident and secure in yourself.
