Nanci is a 1.5 generation Korean-American psychotherapist based in the San Francisco Bay Area and was raised in South Korea, Hawaii and California. She has over 10 years of experience as a psychotherapist and over 16 years in educational settings in both the United States and internationally. Currently, Nanci is licensed in and can support clients in California, Colorado, Delaware, Indiana, New Mexico, Vermont and Virginia. 

Nanci received her Master’s of Arts in Counseling, Marriage and Family Therapy from Saint Mary’s College of California and was trained in the Rogerian Humanistic Approach of psychotherapy. 

Her approach to psychotherapy is to provide a space for clients to be able to share their concerns and trust that their system will find its way to heal from negative experiences and difficulties with the proper guidance and opportunity. She believes the brain and body are designed to heal, and practice the encouragement of this ability in the therapeutic process. She strives to meet clients where they are and provide a comfortable and neutral environment for clients to be able to move through their healing process.

Additionally, while not a Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT) therapist, Nanci pulls skills from these approaches to help clients manage their symptoms. Nanci also practice from an attachment lens.
