One of Nancy’s areas of particular interest is working with couples and families. Her strong foundation in relationship counseling enables her to guide clients through the intricacies of interpersonal dynamics, helping them to nurture healthier connections and mend fractured bonds.

Nancy’s identity as an Asian woman endows her with a distinct advantage in comprehending Asian cultures and forging profound connections with her Asian clients. Her firsthand experience as a first-generation college student and immigrant to the US further enriches her perspective, as she has personally navigated the challenges of cultural shock, the arduous journey toward

Her toolkit includes the person-centered approach, which offers clients unconditional support and understanding.  Additionally, Nancy utilizes emotion-focused therapy to enhance emotional awareness, interpersonal therapy to foster effective communication skills, and rational emotive behavior therapy to identify and address maladaptive emotional and behavioral patterns. Mindfulness practices are also a cornerstone of her methodology, offering clients valuable coping strategies to manage life’s challenges.

Perhaps one of Nancy’s most distinguishing attributes is her unwavering commitment to creating a safe and nonjudgmental space for her clients. Through attentive listening, empathy, compassion, and understanding, she empowers her clients to explore their emotions, confront their challenges, and embark on a journey of self-discovery. This unique therapeutic environment allows individuals to acquire essential coping strategies and, ultimately, rediscover their authentic selves.
