I strive to create a safe and supportive environment where individuals of all ages can explore their innermost thoughts, emotions, and experiences. Therapy is not just about alleviating symptoms, but about fostering personal growth and transformation from the inside out.

Understanding our emotions can sometimes feel like navigating a maze without a map. As a therapist, I offer a safe and supportive space where you can explore your feelings and experiences at your own pace. From the earliest moments of our lives, our relationships shape who we are and how we relate to the world around us. Together, we can embark on a journey to untangle the emotional threads that weave through your past and present, shedding light on the unseen aspects of yourself. Accepting new clients as of 7/18/2024

I throughly enjoy working collaboratively with my clients. As a team, we work on changing negative patterns of: thinking, relating to others and/or themselves, and difficult emotions. I find that the clients who are open to putting into practice new tools and skills are the ones that see the most dramatic changes and see the most improvement. In a safe and supportive environment, my clients are able to make the changes that allow them to accomplish their goals and feel good again. I am thrilled to be part of the process with you!

It takes courage to seek therapy, yet it’s one of the most helpful forms of self-care when life becomes overwhelming. My goal is to normalize the process and create safety & support for self-exploration and relational attunement. I work with couples, families and relationships. Therapy is like turning on lights and finding guard rails when everything feels dark and uncertain. It can provide a map and offer loving presence &compassion in difficult moments. It empowers YOU to step fully into an empowered life with humility, courage, & connection with the parts of yourself and with others.

Challenges and obstacles are a natural part of life. I believe, clients can draw from their strengths in combination with self awareness, stress management and therapeutic tools, to overcome most hurdles in their lives. My therapeutic approach depends on the individual or the couples needs. After a thorough assessment, I will then establish a treatment plan designed to meet my clients needs. My individualized treatment plans are based on 20 years of experience and constructed with input from my client. We will work together to identify; understand and resolve difficulties which undermine daily functioning and well being.

You are unique, and the way we will approach your goals will be fit just for you.

Hi, my name is Vanessa (she/they) I am an AMFT and Registered Art Therapist. I am of Zapotec heritage, raised on Tataviam lands, known today as the Northeast San Fernando Valley. Identities I hold are being queer, disabled, 1st gen, neurodiverse, and somewhere on the gender spectrum of being femme and beyond one gender. My commitment as an Anti-Imperialist/abolitionist therapist show up in the space in the ways I do not center tenants of white supremacy such as perfectionism, worship of written word, centrism/white comfort, and individualism. As a person of color, my lived experience has led me to center social justice in my work.

Are you a mom who wants to parent differently than the way you were raised but you're not sure where to begin? Do you want to heal from generational trauma and create a new legacy for your family? I specialize in working with women who consider themselves "cycle breakers", women who are making a conscious effort to parent in a mindful way, create family healthy traditions, set boundaries and limit toxic relationships. The healing journey can be lonely, it's important to have a space where you can heal from past traumas and get clear on your goals.

Tired of crying yourself to sleep, blowing up "for no reason", feeling "on edge" and nervous, bickering with significant others, and feeling the need to defend yourself ? Chronic conflict and stress can leave us feeling drained and exhausted, with little hope for the future and no desire to try again. Your life and relationships may be "stuck" in a cycle of unmet needs and misunderstandings. Few of us grew up in ideal families or learning all we need to know about managing conflict and expressing our needs and emotions effectively.

I specialize in anxiety, depression, trauma, and adult adhd. I take an integrative and strength-based approach to healing that attends to the mind, body, and spirit. I believe that humans are inherently resilient and what may have worked to help you cope in the past, may not be working for you in the present. This can show up through behaviors such as isolating from others, internalizing other people's behavior as your fault, scanning for threat, addictions, risk taking, over working, perfectionism, etc. I want to help you rediscover your strengths and deepen your sense of hope so you can lead a more vital, exuberant life.
