Hello! I'm Nancy, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW-R). I specialize in working with adults struggling with depression, anxiety, poor self-esteem, relationships, and childhood trauma history. I help you understand why you’re feeling the way you are by exploring your history and current circumstances.

My strengths as a therapist lie in my ability to help people find their "inner voice". I believe people are experts on their own lives; they just need a safe space to figure out what they want, learn how to trust themselves and the courage to make the changes they need and want in their lives. Change starts with feeling like you have been seen and heard by another person. I have been a Licensed Mental Health Counselor for over 25 years. I have been fortunate to work in a variety of clinical settings that have allowed me the opportunity to support clients of all ages, ethnicities, genders and socioeconomic backgrounds.

Female Therapists
Does it matter what gender my therapist is?
In general, there is no relationship between a therapist’s gender and their efficacy. Some clients, however, prefer to see therapists of a particular gender, whether due to their own past experiences with men and women, or because they feel more comfortable with a therapist of their own gender due to shared life experiences or perspectives. Considering what one wants to address in therapy can help someone determine whether their therapist’s gender may matter or improve their therapeutic experience. The most important consideration is that a client is able to build a trusting relationship with their therapist.
Should I see a female therapist?
Many people—not just women—prefer to see a female therapist. For women, this could be because they believe that they will be able to better connect with a woman, and that a female therapist will be able to relate to their specific challenges and personal issues. It may be particularly beneficial for women to see a female therapist, for example, for gender-specific issues, such as sexism in the workplace, relationship issues, and gender roles. The most important factor in therapy is the client-therapist connection, and a therapist's gender as well as many other factors may play an important role in this.
Do therapists get specific training to help with women’s concerns?
Therapists are trained to provide care to clients of any gender. However, some therapists may pursue additional training in feminist therapy, gender-specific issues, or women’s mental health. Female clients may wish to ask prospective therapists whether they have received specific training in the client’s primary area(s) of concern, or whether they have worked extensively with women on issues similar to their own.
How can I inquire about a therapist’s experience in treating women?
It’s OK—even encouraged!—to ask a therapist directly whether and how often they have treated women in the past, or whether they have treated women dealing with the client’s most prominent concern(s). Competent therapists will be happy to share their educational background, preferred treatment modalities, and prior client experience to help an individual find the therapist best suited to their needs.
