Clients say this provider is
You may love your family deeply and still feel exhausted by everything that comes with taking care of everyone else. Maybe you’re adjusting to motherhood, raising young children, questioning your relationship, dealing with difficult in-laws, navigating a separation, or realizing that you’ve spent so much time keeping the peace that you’ve stopped speaking up for yourself. I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who helps women navigate these complicated seasons of life, strengthen their boundaries, communicate more assertively, and reconnect with who they are outside of the roles they fill for others. I also welcome partners who want to better understand and support a spouse going through major life transitions and learn how to show up with greater empathy, communication, and emotional support.
In our first session, my goal is to create a warm, supportive space where you feel comfortable sharing your story. We’ll start by discussing what brought you to therapy, what challenges you’re facing, and what you hope to gain from our work together. I’ll ask some questions to better understand your experiences, emotions, and any patterns that may be impacting your well-being. This is also a time for you to ask any questions and get a sense of my approach. You don’t need to prepare anything—just come as you are. My focus is on making you feel heard, understood, and supported as we begin this journey together. You don’t need to have everything figured out before your first session. You can come in knowing only that something isn’t working anymore and that you’re ready for things to feel different. We’ll talk about what has been weighing on you and what you would like to change—whether you’re overwhelmed by motherhood, struggling in your relationship, navigating separation, dealing with difficult family dynamics, learning to set boundaries, or trying to find your voice again. If you’re a partner seeking therapy because someone you love is going through a major transition, we can also explore how those changes are affecting you and your relationship. You’ll have a space to learn how to listen differently, communicate more effectively, recognize what your partner may need from you, and offer support without losing sight of your own emotional needs.
As a provider, my greatest strengths are my ability to create a warm, nonjudgmental space where moms feel truly heard and understood. I blend compassion with practical, evidence-based strategies, helping clients not only process their emotions but also develop tools to navigate the challenges of toddlerhood. My background in cognitive behavioral therapy allows me to help moms reframe unhelpful thoughts, manage anxiety, and build confidence in themselves. Most importantly, I meet my clients where they are, offering support that is both validating and empowering. My goal is to encourage you to get to a space where you feel less alone and more in control of your mental and emotional well-being. You deserve more than a space where you simply talk about the same problems week after week. I’ll help you understand the patterns underneath what is happening, recognize what may be keeping you stuck, and develop practical ways to respond differently. Using CBT and insight-oriented therapy, we can work on assertiveness, boundaries, communication, guilt, relationship patterns, and separating what you can control from what you cannot. I also help partners move beyond “I don’t know what you want me to do” by learning how to become more emotionally responsive and supportive during periods of change. Whether you’re the person going through the transition or the person trying to support someone you love, our work can help you communicate your needs more clearly, understand one another more deeply, and make intentional choices about how you want to move forward.
Maybe you love being a mom, but somewhere between the routines, responsibilities, and taking care of everyone else, you’ve started to wonder, “What about me?” You may be raising little ones while trying to manage a relationship that feels harder than it should, dealing with in-laws who don’t respect your boundaries, navigating a separation, or loving someone you keep hoping will finally change. Maybe you’re simply tired of overthinking, keeping the peace, or feeling guilty every time you speak up for yourself. You may also be a partner who loves your spouse and genuinely wants to be supportive, but you’re not always sure what to say or what they need from you as they navigate motherhood or another major life transition. You don’t have to have everything figured out before coming to therapy. You just need to be ready to make some space for yourself, understand your patterns, and explore what you want this next chapter of your life to look like. If any part of this sounds like you, I invite you to book a session with me. Let’s talk about what’s been happening—and start helping you feel more confident, supported, and like yourself again.

Have you ever replayed a conversation in your head, questioned whether you were “overreacting,” felt guilty for saying no, or found yourself assuming responsibility for everyone else’s feelings? I use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help you recognize how your thoughts, beliefs, and interpretations can influence the way you feel and respond. Together, we’ll identify patterns that may be keeping you stuck, challenge thoughts that are no longer serving you, and develop healthier ways of responding to stressful situations. Whether you’re navigating motherhood, relationship difficulties, separation, challenging in-laws, or learning to become more assertive, CBT can help you approach these situations with greater clarity, confidence, and intention.
Sometimes knowing what you should do is very different from being able to do it when emotions are high. I use Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) skills to help you manage intense emotions, tolerate difficult moments, communicate your needs effectively, and create healthier boundaries in your relationships. We may practice ways to stay grounded during conflict, ask for what you need without becoming overwhelmed by guilt, and respond thoughtfully instead of reacting in the heat of the moment. DBT can be especially helpful when you’re learning how to protect your peace while still maintaining relationships that matter to you.

Nancy is great! always asking thought provoking questions, and actually made me progress. never dismiss my feelings, and very direct, I would love to work more with her.

Nancy was a pivotal part of my mental health progress while I was going through my separation and active divorce from my volatile partner. She was very understanding and provided me with tools to communicate and calm my animals as a first time mother as well. Thank you Nancy!

Nancy was very warm even from the start of our session. She was never judgmental to the things that I explained and gave me very good feedback. She also gave me steps to help me feel more at ease.
