About Nanette

I have lived experience and professional specialization in maternal mental health, relationships, adult ADHD, and mood disorders such as depression and anxiety. Other common stressors and themes that clients and I work through are life transitions, parenting challenges, job and career dissatisfaction, grief, loss, and overall sense of feeling not “good enough.”

As a therapist, I practice from a culturally sensitive, compassion focused, and neuro-affirming lens, utilizing narrative, attachment and acceptance-based modalities, with trauma informed consideration.

As a person, I am a cisgender heterosexual AAPI (Asian American Pacific Islander) woman (she/her/hers). I’m a millennial, I’m a mom, and I’m neurodivergent (ADHD).

I value social and racial justice, body acceptance, consent and autonomy. I consider myself a HAES-affirming, LGBQTIA+ allied, anti-racist practitioner, aligned with the social model of disability and the neurodiversity paradigm/movement.

To give a light-hearted snapshot of who I am: My current objects of hyperfocus are playing around on Canva and learning to decoupage. Top 5 favorite TV shows are: Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Battlestar Galactica, The Wire, 30 Rock, and The Twilight Zone. I break into dance to energize myself, and co-regulate with my pup to wind down at the end of the day. If that’s the kind of energy you feel comfortable with, please reach out!
