Nancy is a Licensed Psychotherapist and Certified Grief Educator who believes deeply in the power of healing through compassion, nervous system awareness, and intentional self-work. She specializes in supporting people overwhelmed by anxiety, stuck in patterns of self-doubt, or navigating the fog of grief. This work is more than professional for Nancy - it's personal. She understands what it's like to feel consumed by fear, disconnected from yourself, and unsure how to calm the racing thoughts. That understanding is at the heart of her approach. Nancy helps clients learn to regulate their nervous systems, shift old belief patterns, and reconnect with a sense of calm, clarity, and self-trust. Her work draws from both lived experience and clinical expertise, grounded in evidence-based practices like Polyvagal Theory, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and mindfulness. If you're ready to stop spiralling and start healing, you're in the right place. Nancy offers a steady, supportive presence as clients take one small, meaningful step at a time. You don't have to do it alone - and with Nancy, you won't.
Need help to reduce anxiety, navigate grief, set healthy boundaries & build unshakable confidence—without guilt or fear? 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. Hi, I'm Nancy & I can help. With a compassionate, practical, and supportive approach, I use a combination of Polyvagal Theory, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Mindfulness techniques to help you manage anxiety, process loss & build self-confidence. Therapy with me is warm, engaging, & 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. As a gay Latina, I bring a unique perspective to my practice & enjoy serving culturally diverse & underrepresented communities. 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. Contact me now to get started.
