Get to know me

In our first session together, here's what you can expect

In our first session together we'll start with brief introductions, then dive into the specific challenges you're facing. This will help me create a tailored plan for us to work through in follow-up sessions.

The biggest strengths that I bring into our sessions

I have worked with clients experiencing a wide range of concerns including depression, anxiety, relationship issues, career challenges, trauma and stress management. I have also helped many people who have experienced physical trauma, emotional abuse and severe mental health conditions. He trabajado con clientes que experimentan una amplia gama de preocupaciones, como depresión, ansiedad, problemas de relación, desafíos profesionales y manejo del estrés. También he ayudado a muchas personas que han experimentado traumas físicos, abuso emocional y condiciones severas de salud mental.

The clients I'm best positioned to serve

As human beings we must cater to the mental, physical, and spiritual in order to improve our quality of life and feel happier. I am open to explore all these areas with you on your journey of self-improvement and self-care.

Vani is great! She is very welcoming and approachable. I feel really calm and heard during our sessions. She always gives me new perspectives to consider and actionable suggestions. I appreciate how she also shares about her own life and circumstances she has navigated. Overall my sessions with her feel incredibly productive and have help me begin to work through past trauma and navigate obstacles I currently face with confidence.

Everything felt natural almost like talking with a friend or mentor. She was kind respectful and helpful in prompting questions. I enjoyed talking with her about goals.
