About
Hello, I’m Nan, a licensed marriage and family therapist. I see clients by video in California and in person at our office in Los Altos.
I help individuals 15 and older, couples, and families navigate life’s challenges with more clarity, resilience, and connection. I work with people from many cultural and racial backgrounds and am committed to care that is culturally responsive, inclusive, and affirming. As a bilingual, bicultural therapist, I offer therapy in English and Mandarin, so you can work in the language and cultural context that feels most natural to you.
How I work
My approach is collaborative, compassionate, and goal-oriented. I help you build practical tools, increase self-awareness, and create meaningful, lasting change in your life and relationships.
