As a teenager, Nisy sensed that counseling would be a profession that she had natural inclinations for as she found herself listening to others, empathizing with their struggles and offering words of comfort and encouragement. As a psychology and sociology double major from Emory University, she learned how individual personalities and their behaviors are influenced by the environment and family structure.

She has worked in multiple environments such as: a pregnancy resource center, foster care and adoption, elementary and middle schools, and a trauma-focused and gospel-centered Christian counseling practices.

 

Nisy enjoys living life by hanging out with her family, friends, and neighbors.
