Meet Dr. Annette Han

EMDR Certified Licensed Psychologist

 
 

Supporting Healthcare Workers, New Moms & Adults Navigating Family-of-Origin Wounds
through Online Therapy in California: Irvine • Newport Beach • Mountain View and beyond.

I specialize in helping clients who were raised to be the strong one, the responsible one, or the peacekeeper—roles that often show up again in adulthood and especially in parenthood or healthcare careers.

Many clients come to therapy to work through:

  • family-of-origin trauma

  • enmeshed or emotionally immature parents

  • chronic guilt or pressure to be “the good one”

  • difficulty setting boundaries

  • patterns of overfunctioning in relationships

My approach blends EMDR, IFS-informed work, and attachment-based therapy to help you understand where these patterns started—and how to change them.

During sessions, we will focus on moving through “stuck-ness” and finding balance in your inner world. Together, we will figure out how to find rest while making practical changes; look into past history and also move toward the future; honor your own values while finding ways to meet expectations from others.

My hope is to provide a warm, non-judgmental space where we could explore thoughts and patterns honestly. We will learn coping skills that will help equip you to dive deep and further understand yourself. For those who are spiritually-minded, I can also offer faith integration in our work together.

If you feel that we could be a good fit to work together, please contact me for a short consultation call so we can chat about how therapy could be helpful in your unique situation.

With Annette I learned to be more confident. She believed in me even when I didn’t believe in myself. I could trust her with all the issues that have kept me back in life. I thought I would always feel depressed and hopeless. During therapy with Annette I learned to be content, looking forward, no longer scared of the future.
