About Nancy
She draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and try different responses. Motivational Interviewing is used to support people who want to make changes but feel stuck. She also uses solution-focused techniques to set small, reachable goals.
With a background in medical social work, Nancy understands how health concerns and systems add pressure. That experience shapes the practical focus of sessions and how she helps people navigate services and appointments when needed.
Sessions are offered in English and Spanish. Nancy aims to create a respectful space where people feel heard and can practice skills between meetings. The tone is direct but caring, so work in session translates into real-life change.
Her practice includes talk, skills practice, and short-term goal planning. She helps people build coping tools for stress, improve communication, and clarify life purpose. Nancy emphasizes steps people can try right away rather than long lists of abstract ideas.
Approaches and online therapy that fit your life
CBT, or Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and test different, more helpful responses. It is useful for anxiety, stress, and problems that repeat over time. Motivational Interviewing focuses on what matters to the person and on building the motivation to make changes. It is helpful when someone feels stuck or unsure about next steps.Nancy treats finding the right approach as a team effort. She will talk with each person about goals, try techniques together, and adjust plans based on what works. That collaborative process helps people find practical tools they can use between sessions.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video lets people work face-to-face when schedules allow. Phone sessions can be shorter check-ins or a lower-bandwidth option. Live chat and texting make it possible to share thoughts in real time or catch up between meetings. These options make therapy more flexible and easier to fit around work, family, and medical appointments.
