Great to meet you!

Something in your body already knows it is carrying too much. Anxiety, depression, or trauma that keeps showing up. Stress that settles into your chest and stays there. I am

Vanessa, an LCSW and certified yoga teacher, and I help teens and adults heal through both the mind and the body. My approach blends eight years of clinical experience with yoga-informed somatic work, because what you are carrying often lives in the nervous system. I work in English and Spanish. I would love to connect.

My approach to therapy

I practice therapy from a holistic, body-centered perspective. Together, we will explore how stress, trauma, and attachment styles affect your nervous system, thoughts, emotions, and relationships. I combine evidence-based strategies such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy with gentle somatic release and mindfulness to help soothe anxiety and shift old emotional patterns. We will build practical tools to ground your body, quiet your mind, and support healthier relationships.

What you can expect from me

In our first session, I will create a safe, comfortable, judgment-free space where you can arrive exactly as you are. We will gently explore what brings you to therapy, learn about your history, and discuss your goals for healing without following a rigid checklist. Together, we will create a plan that honors both your mind and body. You will leave with a clear direction and a simple grounding tool to begin soothing your nervous system.
