There aren’t enough amazing things that I could say about Nancy. She is incredible. Nancy remembers every single detail I’ve ever said to her and that is so important for me because I feel heard and understood.

Nancy was dedicated, professional and engaged during our sessions. She had useful exercises and provided vital support when necessary. She can be candid and appropriately on point when needed and extremely understanding and non-judgmental. Competent counterpart when navigating an emotionally volatile terrain.
