About Nancy

I am a licensed Marriage, Family & Child Therapist in private practice in San Anselmo, CA. for over 30 years. I have always been interested in the intersection between psychology and spirituality,  I gain inspiration for my work in a number of ways – through meditation, poetry reading, hiking, gardening, making art, and through the ongoing deepening of connection to my clients. There are many who have influenced and taught me through their good work. Among those are Carl Jung, Joan Chodorow, Victor Frankl, James Bugenthal, Sue Johnson, Bonnie Badenoch, John & Julie Gottman, Jack Kornfield, Helen Palmer, and David Daniels.
