Introduction: Are you or a loved one going through challenges commonly associated with growing older? Some of these challenges typically include: - grief - cumulative loss - loss of independence - chronic pain - confusion and frustration about roles as an older person - desire to continue to contribute to your family, community and society and wondering how to go about it - loneliness or isolation - looking for opportunities to make new friends and/or volunteer - dealing with the big spiritual or existential questions in life - trying to understand and communicate with the younger generations - trying to advocate for yourself or your loved one with health professionals - downsizing your material stuff - moving - navigating the transition from your 9-5 day job to now what? - depression - anxiety, fear or overwhelm My focus as a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist and Gerontologist (gerontology is the study of aging) is on serving midlife and older individuals and families as they navigate the often turbulent waters of growing older, together as a family, an an invidiuals, and as a member of your community. This is where my advanced education and training and experience lies, and this is where my passion is. Give me a call for a free 20 minute consultation. My offices as in Mill Valley and San Anselmo.

Nancy helped my siblings and I support our aging mother who had been suffering for quite some time with deep depression and anxiety. She established a sense of trust with our mom using kindness, genuine deep listening and she helped to normalize some of what our mom was experiencing. Nancy has not only been skillful and kind with our mom but has, when we have asked, met with us as a family to help us better understand what our mom is going through and how we can best support her and take care of ourselves as well. Nancy offered very practical suggestions too, based on her many years of experience working with middle aged and older people and their families. She advocated with medical professionals to bring an effective team together and has helped us hone our communication skills with them and with each other. I highly recommend her for both counseling and consulting how to navigate these territories of older age with consciousness, hope and peace.

FAQs

What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
You call me to arrange a free 20 minute consultation on the telephone. I will call you back within 24 hours. We can talk about your needs and you can ask me questions about how I work. We'll arrange an appointment for a session, then, if you feel like we are a good fit.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I have a Master's degree in Counseling Psychology, am a Licensed Marriage & Family Therapist and a Credentialed Professional Gerontologist. In prior careers I worked an EMT, medic and birth doula, and as a successful, pioneering entrepreneur and executive in the technology field. My personal experience as a wife, mother, grandmother, caregiver and hospice volunteer also contribute to my perspectives and, from this, you can also benefit.
How did you get started doing this type of work?
I have always worked in the fields of activism, community building and counseling regardless of my particular job. So, it was a natural that eventually I would get my formal education in graduate school and focus full time on what I love to do - that is, help people increase the quality of their lives through education and support.
