I have been in practice for over 40 years. Concurrently, I was employed as a School Counselor (PPS) for over 20 years. During my studies, I also acquired a certification in substance abuse counseling (CDAC). Just to round out my skills, I owned a matchmaking company for 5 years.

Nancy has helped me adjust my point of view in a more positive light. I realized with her guidance and therapy that my relationship has improved and I have improved as well. I believe sometimes a person with an objective view can highlight behavior that isn't always "savory". Due to her advice, I have taken steps towards a better life. I like her refreshing observations and personality. I have for most of my life been defensive and with Nancy's help I let my guard down and become more sensitive. Nancy has provided me with tools that I can utilize to stabilize my life. I couldn't recommend a more suitable therapist to assist me in coming to terms on how to improve my relationships and better understand myself.
