Meet Your Therapist

Hi, I'm Nancy.

I'm a trauma-informed therapist in California with over 15 years of clinical experience. Being trauma-informed means I look beyond symptoms and carefully take note of the obstacles you've faced — big or small.

I believe everything has its place, and if we take pause and look at ourselves compassionately, we will find meaning and conviction.

I serve Santa Clara, Santa Cruz, and Orange County via a hybrid model — in-person sessions at my San Jose office and telehealth throughout California.

"Even the most competent and brilliant person can find themselves stuck in precarious places. You are not alone — and reaching out takes a whole lot of courage."

— Nancy, Expanding Pathways

My Story

About Me

Hi there! I am Nancy, a trauma-informed therapist in the state of California. Being a trauma-informed clinician means that I look beyond symptoms and carefully take note of the obstacles you've faced, big or small.

I love my job and appreciate everything about the human mind — from the energy that guides our moral compass, to the negativity that can debilitate us. I believe everything has its place and if we take pause and look at ourselves compassionately, we will find meaning and conviction.

My clinical journey began in 2011 in San Francisco, where I served children, young adults, and families from culturally diverse backgrounds. Trained in both community mental health and academic settings, I learned not only the internal struggles my clients faced, but also the external environments that contributed to their anguish.

Three years ago my work shifted to serving adults in a primary care setting, culminating a broader understanding of the various challenges we face within the human lifespan. Since then I have been blessed to work with people of varying age groups, appreciating and taking nothing for granted.

When I am not busy therapeutizing, I am engulfed in my role as a mom, a conscious life partner, and best friend to my loved ones. These days I am busy family blending and adapting to a vastly changing environment.

I serve Santa Clara, Santa Cruz, and Orange County through a hybrid model — offering both in-person sessions at my San Jose office and telehealth for clients throughout California.

My Therapeutic Approach

I draw from a range of evidence-based modalities, tailoring my approach to what works best for each individual. My work is rooted in compassion, curiosity, and a deep respect for the whole person.

Service 01

Psychotherapy

Life can take many unexpected turns, leaving us feeling confused, exasperated, and alone. Even the most competent and brilliant person can find themselves stuck in precarious places. Therapy can help, especially during these circumstances.

Psychotherapy is a unique service. Your therapist provides a platform that enables you to process your thoughts, feelings, and fears without judgment and shame.

Reaching out for support takes a whole lot of courage — courage in knowing that we've exhausted our resources, and perhaps ready to find that space within us that allows growth and connection.

Hybrid Sessions

I've embraced a hybrid model that puts flexibility and wellbeing first. Whether you prefer the connection of meeting in person at my San Jose office or the convenience of a secure virtual session from home — both are equally valued parts of my practice.

Telehealth sessions are conducted through a secure, HIPAA-compliant video platform. No account creation required — simply click the link to my virtual waiting room.

The choice is yours. We can discuss what works best at the start of our work together, and it can evolve over time.

Clinical Supervision

Clinical supervision is one of the most crucial aspects of our field. I would argue it is the single most important stepping stone in the journey of a clinician. Our path is rewarding, but no path begins without trials and tribulations.

When I started out as a new clinician, supervision was a place for me to fine-tune my moral compass. It was the appropriate place to ask: Am I doing the right thing? What more can I do for this client?

I was fortunate to work under skilled, supportive, and compassionate supervisors. I am paying it forward by offering supervision at a low cost. Contact me for more information.

What Supervision Offers

✦ Fine-tune your clinical moral compass
✦ Navigate complex client situations
✦ Develop ethical clinical instincts
✦ Offered at low cost to new clinicians
