Nancy’s work encompasses the myriad of losses that may come as a fundamental part of the human experience. She  practices through a Self-Psychology lens which recognizes that we can successfully transcend the tremendous challenges we may face throughout our lifetime; loss of relationship, loss of personal safety and security, loss of employment, loss of self-esteem, loss of voice, and loss of sense of self and identity. The core of Nancy’s work, as she “holds onto hope“, is providing therapeutic support for integrating these transitions in a healthy way and building self-esteem and resilience.

Nancy is a Registered Psychotherapist, a Professional Art Therapist, a Fellow in Thanatology: The Study of Death, Dying and Bereavement. She is a specialist in bereavement resulting from traumatic death. Prior to entering private practice, Nancy was the Program Director at the Seasons Centre for Grieving Children in Barrie, Ontario where she oversaw service provision for more than 350 participants annually.  

Nancy has been engaged in Education, Advocacy, and Individual and Group Therapy supporting children, teens, adults, and families for 20 years. She is a past member of the Board of Directors of the Canadian Association for Suicide Prevention, and a founding member of CASP’s People Impacted by Suicide Working group. She is a member of the Board of Directors of the Association of Death Education and Counseling and Chair of its Credentialing Council and a standing member of the Organizing Committee for the Simcoe County Suicide Awareness Conference.
