Hello, my name is Nenci. I’m a dedicated professional committed to helping my clients navigate challenges and achieve their personal goals. I specialize in anxiety, depression, trauma, life transitions, grief, and various other areas. I hold a Master’s degree in Rehabilitation Counseling and have over 11 years of experience in the mental health field. Over the course of my career, I’ve worked with individuals, families, and groups on a variety of issues.
Clients can expect to leave sessions with practical tools, new insights, and a deeper understanding of themselves and their experiences. My goal is to help clients build confidence in navigating challenges, improve their emotional well-being, and develop skills that promote lasting growth and resilience. I strive to create a supportive, non-judgmental environment where clients feel heard, respected, and empowered to work through their concerns at their own pace.
I bring a unique blend of personal insight and professional expertise to my practice. Having navigated various life challenges myself, I understand the complexities and struggles that individuals may face. This personal experience allows me to connect authentically with clients, fostering a therapeutic environment where they feel understood and supported. Coupled with years of professional training and experience, I utilize evidence-based therapeutic techniques to guide clients toward healing and personal growth. This combination of empathy and expertise enables me to tailor my approach to each individual's unique needs, promoting effective and meaningful outcomes in therapy.
I understand that seeking support is a significant step, and I'm here to assist you at any stage of life. Whether you're a parent concerned about your child's well-being, a teenager navigating complex emotions, or an adult facing life's challenges, I offer a safe and supportive environment tailored to your needs. Together, we can work towards enhancing your mental health and achieving your personal goals.
I employ CBT to help clients identify and reframe negative thought patterns that contribute to emotional distress. By collaboratively developing coping strategies, clients can manage symptoms of anxiety and depression more effectively.
In supporting clients through grief, I provide a compassionate space for them to express their feelings and process their loss. I guide clients in understanding the stages of grief and assist them in finding personal meaning and acceptance in their experience.
I integrate mindfulness practices, such as meditation and breathing exercises, to help clients increase present-moment awareness. This approach aids in emotion regulation and reduces stress by encouraging clients to observe their thoughts and feelings without judgment.
I utilize motivational interviewing techniques to support clients in resolving ambivalence and enhancing their intrinsic motivation for change. This client-centered approach is particularly effective in addressing behavioral changes related to substance use and health behaviors.
I create a nonjudgmental and empathetic therapeutic environment, allowing clients to lead the direction of their therapy. This approach fosters self-discovery and personal growth, empowering clients to find solutions within themselves.
