About Nanette
Nanette Tangkeko is a California-licensed marriage and family therapist who draws on nine years of clinical work to help people facing stress, anxiety, grief, and struggles with self esteem. She focuses on practical steps that build confidence and day-to-day coping. Her approach aims to make the first steps toward change feel manageable rather than overwhelming.
She creates a calm space where people can talk about painful experiences without judgment. Conversations often cover motivation, recovery from narcissistic abuse, and ways to rebuild a sense of self. Sessions tend to emphasize clear goals and small, actionable changes clients can try between meetings.
Nanette uses a mix of methods that match each person's needs. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps spot unhelpful thinking patterns and replace them with realistic alternatives. Mindfulness techniques support grounding and present-moment awareness when anxiety or stress feel intense.
She also brings psychodynamic ideas into understanding recurring relationship patterns and how past family dynamics affect current choices. Trauma-focused approaches are included when clients need focused work on past hurts that continue to cause distress.
If someone is juggling caregiving, family pressures, or major life changes, Nanette focuses on clear communication skills and practical coping tools. She pays attention to cultural background and young adult concerns when they shape a person's goals. The overall aim is steady progress toward healthier self-regard and more usable daily habits.
