As a generalist, I work with individuals with a wide range of concerns from depression, anxiety, post-traumatic stress, bipolar, and addiction, to life problems in relationships, trauma, grief, loneliness, anger management, stress and career choices, etc... Clients get results with me because my approach is practical, creative, and empowering, and I work hard to help clients gain new tools to overcome their challenges. I am a licensed psychologist with over a decade of experience providing individual, couples, group counseling, psychological evaluations, and teaching/training in university settings.

I am a clinician focused on both deep emotions and practical coping. My therapy style is to collaborate with Clients to find out what works for you the best. It usually arises naturally from our body as body is the container for whatever we've been through. I believe psychotherapy can foster our personal growth and empower us to reclaim our capability to nurture and take care ourselves. I am specialized to work on perfectionism, professionalism, depression, anxiety, panic attack, trauma, stress, autistic spectrum, emotional regulation, relationship, family of origin, and cultural/racial issues.

Are working on the same issues and going in circles? Are you in transition and feeling lost? Are you blaming yourself for not been able to reach your goals? Do you want to have clarity and confidence to move forward? Do you want someone who is an experienced coach to guide you through your life journey with ease and grace? If any of these statements resonate with you, contact Nancy!

Now accepting new clients (adults, teens & couples) If you are feeling distressed with tangled emotions on top of dealing with life chaos, I believe you can find peace. Anxiety, depression, and disconnect from our loved ones can bring out parts of us that we may find incongruent to who we want to be. I help individuals and couples find clarity, connection, and authenticity through empathy and a client-centered perspective. Through therapy, you can learn how to untangle messy feelings and live life purposefully.

The goal of therapy is determined by you, and what you want to accomplish in the process of therapy. I believe you have the full potential to reach your goals and have a better understanding of your true self if you allow self-compassion and compassion for others.

It takes courage to prioritize your emotional well-being, and I'm honored to be part of your journey. As a therapist, my heartfelt mission is to help you feel better and find the peace and happiness you deserve. Together, we'll swiftly address the blocks that hinder your deep self-exploration and understanding. By delving into the root causes of your struggles, we can untangle old patterns and guide you towards a life of renewed purpose and fulfillment. With a focus on trauma processing and a gentle approach rooted in Internal Family Systems (IFS), I'm committed to supporting you in discovering profound healing and lasting change.

Are you feeling the weight of uncertainty or struggling to navigate the complexities of life? Are there aspects of yourself or your situation that you wish to explore and transform?

Your goals become mine, and together, we'll navigate the path towards a more fulfilling and empowered life.

I perceive life as a journey, consisting of searching meaning and coping: Meaning in different roles and aspects of life motivates us to move forward; coping is strategies to get there from here. However, at different life stages, we often got stuck because of different reasons. Thus, either we no longer can see the life meaning(s) and/or our coping strategies are no longer effective. We are likely stuck under these circumstances, which leads to sufferings. I believe that counseling is a catalyst to facilitate the needed changes & adjustments to get unstuck and to have a meaningful life again.

People with experiences, identities, and presentations that do not fit the status quo may find working with me a refreshing experience.
