I focus my work on families and adult patients. In my professional experience, I find the most growth in children by utilizing a family systems approach and accessing the client's innate strengths and desires for change. In adult patients, much of my work surrounds developing healthy coping skills and managing stress in more adaptive ways.

Are you feeling stuck in a rut? Have you often thought about making personal changes and been unable to act? Have friends and family remarked that you appear anxious or worry too much? Have unsettled thoughts gotten in the way of your relationships, career, ability to relax, enjoy yourself or even to sleep? Have you been fixated on a substance, a body image, and/or an unhealthy activity? If these scenarios sound familiar, I may be able to help. It can be quite a burden to carry these thoughts and the guilt of inaction with you daily.

Sometimes our relationships with others, or ourselves, get stuck. We may have lost direction, purpose, or meaning, and we become unsure of who we are or who we are in our relationships with other people. We may feel alone, sad, or scared. Some of us become overwhelmed by naming these emotions. Some of us may choose to isolate ourselves and think we must navigate this life alone. In these moments, we are invited to pay attention; when we do, we begin healing. Therapy can be a gift, inviting you to look inward and grow.

Hello, I’m Dr. Nancy Han, Licensed Psychologist in California. Life is a series of changes and transitions which can create roadblocks in our path. My practice provides a safe space for self-reflection and empowerment to make meaningful changes. I work with individuals and emerging adults struggling with anxiety, depression, perfectionism, histories of trauma, grief and loss, and other life hurdles. In addition, I work with teens/children on the unique challenges of juggling life as a student and aide in giving them a voice to effectively communicate the struggles and parents/guardians to help understand their child’s feelings.

It's hard for you to talk about what you're up against, but increasingly difficult to hold all your pain inside. You don't want to burden others, so you carry the weight of silent shame. You're looking for a space to be honest and determine the next steps. A place of non-judgment. Of healing. A place to forgive yourself and finally move forward. It's important to you to find a therapist who is genuine and really gets it. It's important to reconnect with your nervous system and calm the fight, flight, fawn, or freeze. You're exhausted, and it's time to undo the harm.

This takes a strength and confidence that can be accessed and developed - new choices can be made. These choices restore vitality and contact with the inherent goodness which we can experience ever more strongly and which can become more consistently available to you.

I can't imagine getting much out of only hearing “uh-huh" or the overly used, “how does that make you feel?”. Therapy is most effective when it's a conversation. Occasional use of humor and swearing can help create an uncensored and honest therapeutic relationship. I work well with people who experience anxiety, depression, or those who are having a difficult time connecting and communicating with their partner(s). Patterns are difficult to break whether they are behavioral or having the same conversations over and over again; I’m here to help break those patterns and help establish new and more effective ones.

Please use email for a response from me. Psychotherapy should be used to enhance the life you already live. Most of the time, we do well in our daily routines. All of us have ...let's say..our weak links. We excel in our careers, but we feel lonely, or we want to better communicate with our partner but don't know where to start. Everyone has little areas that confound us. Sometimes we need a private place to begin to find a different path.
