I am a Wisconsin Licensed Professional Counselor with 7 years of professional work experience. Previously, I was a Middle School Teacher for many years and enjoyed working with young teenagers. After some time, I went back to school for professional counseling. I have extensive education, training, and experience that helps me to provide you with various proven and innovative therapies.
I would describe myself as a creative and engaging, eclectic counselor who utilizes many tools and treatment options from various disciplines to provide you with care that meets your interests and circumstances. I also have taken courses in Christian Education and Biblical Counseling and believe that when people incorporate faith in their treatment their healing can be more complete.
I have experience in helping clients with stress and anxiety, self esteem & confidence, and life transitions. I also address mental health issues surrounding adoption and foster care, trauma, and chronic pain . I am certified in a treatment modality called Brainspotting, which is similar to EMDR. Brainspotting is a mind-body therapy that helps reduce and heal trauma symptoms and can be done via telehealth modules.
Since your story is unique to you, I strive to understand your story at your pace. We work together as you navigate to understand a myriad of emotions, thoughts, and life experiences.

Nanci is one of the kindest people I know, and she offers me invaluable feedback and techniques to help me in my daily life! She also understands that my faith is very important to me and she finds ways to incorporate that into our discussions.

Nanci has been a vital role in my healing process. She was able to help guide me through one of the darkest times in my life. I am so thankful that she followed her God given calling to serve people like me. Her strong faith in God played a vital role in me developing my relationship with God. There is no doubt that God chose her to help me. I am most thankful for Better Help and Nanci.

Nanci is insightful, skillful and invested in my goals. Working with Nanci is allowing me to learn and experiment with better tools to work with my feelings rather than being overcome by them. I especially value her expertise in EMDR and Internal Family Systems. After years of on and off talk therapy, I feel with Nanci's support I'm making progress on some of my most challenging (and often frustrating) internal cycles.

It has been such a pleasure in therapy with Nanci. I came in extremely anxious about seeing a new therapist. She's a great listener, validates experiences, helps with work to come out of trauma , do the hard work, and keep my faith strong.

Just a few sessions in and I've really appreciated the thought and care from Nanci the moment we met. She provides a very calm and thoughtful demeanor that allows me to explore the thoughts I'm having while still having a conversation. Really have enjoyed our time together.
