Therapists in 01720

Welcome. I believe that your experience of the therapeutic relationship should be comfortable and feel secure. I utilize an attachment based approach and believe that once feelings of safety are established in therapy that real changes in thoughts, feelings and relationships are possible. I have a warm and interested style of interacting with others and it is always important to me that you feel heard and valued in our time together. Please don't hesitate to get in touch if you'd like to know more or have any questions.

Would you want to feel confident? Would you wish the loneliness could just get lost? Has your life felt like a constant struggle? You long for some peace and calm inside? You wish you could have some hope again. Has your wife reached the end of her rope?

(CURRENTLY NOT ACCEPTING NEW CLIENTS) Nancy is a Licensed Marriage & Family Therapist who has a strong conviction in human resiliency. Her philosophy is that personal challenges provide opportunities to reclaim Power, Identity, & Healing. Her work has included experience in an array of clinical settings & training with experience with Adoption, Couples, Trauma & complex Family issues.

My expertise is in the area of major loss (illness, aging, dying, significant life change, bereavement) also caregiving and end-of-life planning. Such challenges are often overwhelming, even immobilizing. A person can feel they have hit a brick wall, and may feel depressed, hopeless, anxious or numb. When they are able to be present to it they may discover surprising gifts, such as inner resources they might not know are there, ways to take better care of themselves, and new understanding of what is most important to them. Some people find that, amazingly, life can be transformed in ways that make it richer than ever.

Some concerns that bring people to me are their experience of loneliness, depression, and anxiety; feelings of worry, emptiness, and sadness; a search for connection and meaning in relationships and work; life transitions; perfectionism; self-doubt; relationship difficulties; divorce; searching for life direction and a sense of purpose; loss and grief; and exploration of identity. I work with people through collaborative, interactive conversation to help them gain insight, to develop strategies to approach their life challenges, and to feel known and understood. People describe me as empathic, genuine, and with a sense of humor.

Each of us has many parts that work with our core selves to make decisions, develop beliefs, and experience life. If you're struggling to find internal harmony, I can help. We will examine your thoughts, feelings, wants, and needs-- and then explore ways you can make the changes you want. Because so much in this world is vying for your attention, my job is to help you listen to yourself.

~ NOT EXCEPTING NEW CLIENTS ~ I feel extremely fortunate to have the opportunity to work with so many wonderful individuals, couples and families, and for them to trust me with the sensitive details of their lives!  My practice is designed to provide a warm, non-judgmental environment to safely explore unhelpful thoughts, feelings & behaviors which are getting in your way, and more importantly, focusing on strengths and positive traits which are the foundation for change.

With over 20 years of experience in the field of helping others, I have learned that making a genuine connection with people is the best way in which to begin the work of therapy. One of the most important skills I have to offer is to carefully and compassionately listen to what you have to say. We then go from there; when you are ready, we begin to look at how to change.

Update November 2020: If you viewed this profile recently, please note that I've moved! In addition, currently all meetings are remote and openings are rare. I currently work with teens, young adults, and adults. Mood disorders, parent guidance, veterans, family relationships, trauma and PTSD are areas of clinical interest. Those who seek to be responsible for their own happiness, whether through acceptance or through efforts to change and grow, are the people I hope to meet.
