Meet Nancy

Looking at patients’ early development, childhood, adolescence, and life experiences helps formulate my understanding of their current psychology and behavior. I use a client-centered, Psychodynamic approach that pulls from different theoretical orientations, including, but not limited to, psychoanalysis, behavior, and Cognitive therapy. I believe therapy is the interplay of art and science and I strive to ensure my patients are safe, happy, and healthy in and outside of session.
