Nancy is interning at F.L.O.W. while in her final year of the Master’s program for Clinical and Counseling Psychology at Chestnut Hill College. With a specialization in trauma, she has cultivated skills to help clients with stress management, emotion regulation, distress tolerance and interpersonal effectiveness. She is certified in Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TF-CBT) and is committed to helping individuals challenge negative thought patterns, develop coping strategies, increase self-care practices and process and integrate difficult experiences in order to improve self-esteem, self-worth and confidence. Nancy is dedicated to meeting each client with warmth and non-judgmental listening in a safe and empathetic space.

Prior to returning to school to pursue her passion for psychology, Nancy earned a Master of Fine Arts (MFA) in Creative Writing from the University of Southern California and worked as a professional writer for over 15 years. This creative background informs an integrative approach combining psychodynamics with narrative and play-based techniques that she uses in working with children, adolescents, adults and families. As a former yoga instructor, she also brings a holistic perspective that incorporates mindfulness and body-based practices to support clients with anxiety, depression, PTSD, complex trauma, recovery from narcissistic abuse, life transitions, as well as providing support for parents and caregivers, and individuals and couples navigating their fertility journey.

Nancy is deeply committed to creating a trusting and collaborative alliance with each client where they can connect with their strengths, deepen their self-compassion, and live life in line with their true self.
