QUOTES
“Psychological crisis is often a call to personal growth”
The human personality never stops growing and evolving. Sometimes we are forced – by our deeper selves or by Nature itself – to undergo painful life changes that leave us feeling lost and alone. But it is at these times that a new and unexpected path can be discovered, that eventually leads us to a richer and healthier life.

Why counseling?
SELF REFLECTION and SELF HELP
Why come to counseling? Most people ask themselves: Shouldn’t I be able to help myself? The answer is a resounding YES, but we usually need to learn how. And to know ourselves well enough to see what needs fixing. And to understand human psychology well enough to know what has gone wrong, or why we cannot change even when we want to. These are the goals of counseling and the reasons why an experienced psychologist can be so helpful. Counseling is only a beginning in self help and better self care.
MEDITATION and MINDFULNESS
Drawing on her own practice in Vipassana meditation, Nancy helps clients develop Mindfulness and other self-reflective practices for working with psychological problems and improving quality of life.
