She practices from Colorado and works with people facing anxiety, stress, depression, grief, addictions, and many life changes.

She uses straightforward, practical methods in sessions. Conversations focus on what is happening now, what matters most to the person, and what small changes could make life easier.
Background and approach
Nancy blends evidence-informed approaches to match each person's needs rather than relying on a single method. Sessions are warm and direct. Nancy listens, helps identify patterns that cause struggle, and teaches skills for coping, emotion management, and more balanced thinking.
She also supports people who are handling chronic illness, caregiver strain, loss, or difficult relationship issues. Her work includes supporting people with eating or sleeping concerns, anger or self-esteem struggles, career and life transitions, and challenges related to attachment and abandonment. She also addresses concerns connected to chronic pain, caregiving, cancer, and the effects of trauma.
Nancy emphasizes collaboration. She helps clients set realistic goals and practices techniques together during sessions. The focus is on usable tools and steady progress that fits a person's life and pace.
Therapeutic approaches and online care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and commit to actions that match their values. It is useful for anxiety, stress, and life transitions because it focuses on what matters and on small steps toward that life. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, CBT, teaches specific skills to change thinking and behavior patterns that feed anxiety or depression. It is practical work for sleep problems, negative thinking, and mood management. Emotionally-Focused Therapy focuses on emotions and attachment needs to improve relationship patterns and increase emotional awareness and connection.Nancy approaches treatment collaboratively. She will talk with each person about goals and try approaches that fit their needs and preferences. Together they work out which methods feel helpful and adjust the plan as they go.
Online therapy offers several practical benefits. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when visual cues matter. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can be easier when you need a shorter or quieter check-in. Live chat and text-based messaging provide flexible, written ways to keep momentum between sessions or to check in when schedules are tight. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, caregiving, or travel routines, while keeping the focus on steady progress and usable skills.
