“True healing begins when you learn to regulate your nervous system, honor your emotional needs, and create space for genuine connection. By understanding your body's response to stress and loss, you can move from survival mode to a place of safety, balance, and resilience."

About Me
Hi, I’m Nancy, a licensed therapist specializing in helping people reduce anxiety, set healthy boundaries, navigate grief and build the confidence they need to create fulfilling, balanced lives. If you’ve ever felt overwhelmed by people-pleasing, struggled to say “no,” or found yourself stuck in cycles of self-doubt, I want you to know—you’re not alone, and healing is possible.
With a compassionate, practical, and supportive approach, I use a combination of Polyvagal Theory, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Mindfulness techniques to help you process loss, manage anxiety, and build self-confidence. My goal is to provide a safe space where you can break free from anxiety, strengthen your self-worth, and learn how to build relationships that feel healthy, reciprocal, and empowering.
If you’re ready to feel more confident, more at peace, and more in control of your life, I’d love to help you get there.
My Approach
I believe therapy should feel like a partnership—one where you feel heard, supported, and equipped with real tools to make meaningful changes in your life. Together, we’ll work on:
✅ Reducing anxiety by understanding how your nervous system reacts to stress.
✅ Identifying & setting boundaries that honor your needs without guilt.
✅ Replacing self-doubt with confidence & self-trust.
✅ Healing past wounds that make it hard to say no, ask for what you need, or feel truly seen in relationships.
✅ Guide you through grief processing, helping you navigate loss while rebuilding emotional resilience.
✅ Overcoming depression by understanding how your nervous system reacts to emotional distress.
Therapy with me is warm, engaging, and results-driven. My goal isn’t just to talk about your struggles—it’s to help you create lasting change so you can start living a life that feels good to you.
On a personal note…
When I’m not in session, you can find me hiking with my wife, snuggling with my fur babies, spending time with family, reading self-development books, dipping in a cold plunge, soaking in a sauna, and enjoying coffee shop mornings. I know how important it is to practice what I teach, and I am deeply passionate about helping people break free from the habits and fears that keep them feeling small.
