About Nancy:

Nancy grew up in Utah, and between the mountains, the changing seasons, the beautiful summers, and the joy of living close to family, she considers it the perfect place to call home. She began her nursing career at Primary Children’s Hospital, where she spent many years caring for critically ill children in the Pediatric Intensive Care Unit. After several years staying home with her family, she developed a deep interest in supporting mental health and pursued advanced training in psychiatric care. She is a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner who earned her Doctor of Nursing Practice from the University of Utah.

Nancy loves the resilience, honesty, and joy kids bring into appointments and is passionate about prevention, education, and partnering with parents to set a strong foundation for the future. Nancy has a special interest in ADHD and the role of parent training in improving outcomes. Her goal is to help children thrive and families feel seen, supported, and hopeful.

Outside of work, Nancy loves running and has her sights set on qualifying for the Boston Marathon. She enjoys traveling, and her favorite adventure so far has been a safari in Zambia. Nancy and her family enjoy football and proudly cheer for both BYU and Utah.

Parent Feedback

We’ve had such a positive experience with this pediatric care team. From the moment we walk in, the staff is welcoming and attentive, and the environment is clean and child-friendly. The providers take time to really listen, explain things clearly, and make sure both parents and children feel comfortable and understood. They go above and beyond in following up and making sure care plans are easy to follow. It’s reassuring to know our child is in such capable, compassionate hands.
