Hello, I'm Vaneza! I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) who provides a judgement-free zone, allowing a safe space for clients to explore life's challenges and joys. I show up with authenticity, compassion, and lots of humor, but most importantly I show up ready to listen. I help children, teens and adults struggling with depression, anxiety, generational trauma, family or interpersonal conflicts; to improve their overall quality of life. I help people take back their lives and support with difficult changes necessary to lead a happier healthier life.

What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?

During our first session, we will be seeing if we are a good fit for each other, set goals and discuss logistics. This can also be a good time to ask any questions you may have.

Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.

My greatest strength is being an emphatic and patient listener, holding each client in unconditional positive regard and truly putting them first as they are the expert in their life.

My treatment methods

Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)

I have 5 years experience using Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in my practice. CBT has helped many clients face some challenge situations involving reoccurring negative thoughts and overall helped them manage anxiety. We’ll use CBT to recognize how your thoughts, feelings, and behaviors influence each other. This can help us work towards changing your thinking patterns, which will help you feel less anxious.

Solution Focused Brief Treatment

I have 3 years experience using Solution Focused Therapy. This approach is short-term and focuses on current issues, and what can actually be changed. We do this by using your strengths and resources in each session ultimately working together to find solutions.
