Theoretical Orientation
Nancy believes that everyone can increase their self-confidence and sense of calm, self and other compassion, quality of relationships, and goal achievement if given relevant tools, encouragement, compassion, acceptance, and authentic feedback. The client-therapist relationship focusing on establishing an accurate diagnosis and treatment plan, immediacy and compassionate listening, astute questioning, psychoeducation, and medical referral, when warranted, can empower a person to move toward goals and increase life satisfaction. She employs an existential approach with a reliance on experiential techniques as well as cognitive-behavioral strategies, motivational counseling, and brief contractual therapy.
