Nancy has extensive experience supporting clients with emotional dysregulation, interpersonal challenges, and identity development by strengthening self-awareness, coping skills, and connection to others. She is also trained in family therapy and finds deep fulfillment in facilitating communication and healing within family systems. Nancy has received specialized training at the Ackerman Institute for the Family, where she deepened her skills in working with complex relational dynamics and systemic patterns.

Nancy began her career working with adults on parole, providing individual and group counseling aimed at reducing recidivism and supporting recovery.
