I truly enjoy connecting with people, hearing their stories, and helping others find inner peace and balance in life. My role as your therapist is to help shed light on your strengths and resilience as you discover the empowerment that comes with sharing your story, exploring perspectives and creating your own path to move forward. The most important relationship you can invest in is the one you have with yourself. As a therapist, I understand that everyone’s experience of this world is different, and it is my intention to remain curious, open, and understanding of your experience of the world and the impact you can have.

Do you feel like the past is robbing you from the present moment? Or like the past keeps repeating itself? It may be a new relationship or experience but you continue to feel this anguish as if "it is happening all over again." Traumatic experiences can leave very deep wounds in our psyche; most times, we don't even realize how these unprocessed experiences continue to impact our present, including our relationships. Increasing our awareness regarding our past and understanding our present patterns without judgment, help us to expand our ability to live a meaningful life in wholeness. Therapy is a safe space to start.

I love what I do and my greatest passion is helping couples, families, and individuals learn to communicate in a way that promotes healthy connection and healing in their relationships. When individuals, couples or families are hurting, it is sometimes difficult to navigate on their own and so that is where I can help; to guide you through those challenging and painful times. I also enjoy helping those who suffer from anxiety, depression, body image and eating disorders, and any other obstacle that may be keeping one from growing and flourishing in their lives.

Perhaps you are dealing with painful events outside of your control, your emotions are becoming unmanageable, or you are experiencing a new symptom that is sudden and overwhelming. It is very human to want to "feel normal" when dealing with these, but sometimes how we attempt to do this hurts us more. This could include the different ways we avoid our emotions, attempt to “be perfect" or negatively judge ourselves. Using Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) I will help you identify and change ways of thinking and behaving that are impacting your mental health.

These are certainly challenging times. Difficult emotions like loneliness, fear, anger, shame and disillusionment can take over, and you may feel like your life is out of control. Maybe things look good on the outside, but you feel uncertain on the inside. Maybe you have been avoiding things by “self-medicating” with alcohol, food, substances, TV, or the internet? Maybe you are having conflict with someone you love. Maybe “old stuff” is bubbling up? No matter what, you have arrived at this moment for a reason- you are ready to really look deeply at some things and make some changes! Therapy is a great place to do that.

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.

Life is meant to have hope. Going through hardships in life can weigh us down and get us trapped in a mental state that may feel confusing, burdensome, and painful. Pain and wounds from the past do not have to last forever. I approach therapy through an attachment theory perspective. I will work close alongside you with a restoration therapy process that supports one from the triggers of their pain cycle to identifying effective tools in self-regulation with peace. I prioritize creating a safe and nurturing environment to explore past hurts and learn new ways to face life with purpose and freedom.
