About Nancy

A warm, experienced therapist for women at every stage of life

I am a therapist with over 20 years of experience working with women, helping restore joy, strength, and tranquility. I believe all women have immense inner strength, which can be overshadowed by roles like mother, partner, and caregiver. This often leaves us feeling depressed and anxious.

In our sessions I bring a warm, interactive, and engaged approach. There will be moments of levity and laughter, as well as times of sadness, as we work through your challenges with the goal of becoming more self-aware and empowered.

In working with me, you will discover and learn about the inner strength you already possess. It would be my honor to work with you through this process.

My style is participatory and solution-oriented — we don’t just talk about what’s wrong; we build insight, self-compassion, and practical change, at a pace that feels steady and supportive.

Support for the moments that weigh most heavily

01

Women’s issues

The unique pressures of caregiving, work, family, and identity — and making room for your own needs again.

Stress management

When you’re holding everything together for everyone else, therapy is a place to set it down and regroup.

Identity & self-discovery

Reconnecting with who you are beyond your roles — mother, partner, caregiver, professional.

My approach

Insight, compassion, and real change — together

Therapy with Nancy is relational and collaborative. You’ll be met with warmth and honesty, and we’ll draw on the approaches that fit you best.

1

Understand the roots

Psychodynamic and relational work helps us see how past relationships and patterns shape how you feel today.

2

Heal the parts that hurt

Internal Family Systems (IFS) and attachment-based work help you meet wounded parts of yourself with compassion, not judgment.

3

Build a calmer, fuller life

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), mindfulness-based tools, and strength-based work turn insight into everyday lightness and peace.

Warm, interactive, and engaged. There will be moments of levity and laughter, as well as times of sadness, as we work through your challenges toward greater self-awareness and empowerment. My style is participatory and solution-oriented.
Yes — all sessions are telehealth. I see clients by secure video across New York and New Jersey, where I’m licensed as an LCSW. You’ll need to be physically located in NY or NJ during your session.
Private pay means you pay $200 per session directly. It keeps your therapy completely private and lets us set the focus and pace together, based on your needs rather than a fixed number of sessions. Nancy can give you a superbill to submit to your insurance for out of network benefits as well.
