ABOUT ME

IMG_9604_edited.jpg

My name is Nina Whang and I am a marriage and family therapist and enneagram coach based in Northern California. 
It takes vulnerability and courage to explore our individual stories. I understand that for many of us, exploring our stories to better understand ourselves means stepping into the unknown and often into pain. I hope to create a safe space where you will be met with curiosity, compassion, and care so we can uncover your story together. We all carry a story, and as we uncover the wounds in a safe and empathetic space, we give ourselves opportunities for healing and restoration.

Our own life is the thing that most influences and shapes our outlook, our tendencies, our choices and our decisions. It is the force that orients us toward the future, and yet we don’t give it a second thought, much less a careful examination. It’s time to listen to our own story. — Dan Allender, To Be Told

 
I am a child of Korean immigrants, a wife of a pastor, and a working mother of two, residing in Silicon Valley. My personal journey has been learning to uncover, navigate, and find healing in my story. I hope to walk alongside you and support you for your unique journey as well.
