Clinical Focus

Nancy utilizes psychodynamics, the Gottman Method and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to work with couples that are feeling stuck in their cycle of conflict and disconnection. She works with couples to help them understand one another, identify their underlying drivers and defenses and help them move toward connection and intimacy. Nancy works with individuals to help them gain a stronger sense of self and heal from a distorted self image to a view of themselves as lovable, worthy individuals. Nancy understands the toll which a life of ministry can have on an individual, a couple and a family and she works with ministers and leaders to help them achieve a life of balance, teach them to take time to care for their emotional and relational health, learn to communicate effectively and become leaders of integrity.
