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 absolutely love this pediatric office! The doctors and nurses are kind, patient, and truly care about the kids they see. They never rush through appointments, always answer our questions, and make our little one feel safe and comfortable. The front desk staff is friendly and helpful too, which makes the whole experience so smooth. I feel confident knowing our child is getting the best care possible.
