About me
I have twelve years of experience providing individual, group, family, and couples therapy to clients of all ages. I use a variety of methods in my work including EMDR, CBT, Trauma Informed Practice, Solution Focused Therapy Methods, Narrative Therapy, and Dialectic Behavioral Therapy. I use a social justice orientation and recognize the impact of social stressors on the lives of individuals. I also use a systems approach to understanding and intervening in any problems faced by my clients. I use a collaborative approach and start first by listening to understand. I am certified in Teletherapy.

Dr Vang has been a kind listener who has witnessed our family go through multiple medical crises over the past 6 months. I am grateful for her steady support during this prolonged period of upheaval. Thank you!

Dr. Vang has been a great help, and we’re just starting to scratch the surface. She makes me see situations in different ways than my default.

It was my first time in therapy and I wasn’t sure how it would go. I just want to say thank you very much to Dr. Vang for being a therapist that I could relate too. She helped me work through things I haven’t told anyone before. I felt heard, validated, and encouraged in my sessions with her. After a few months I’m leaving therapy feeling more empowered and determined on my journey! Again thank you for making our sessions a positive experience in my life. I hope we can connect again in the future!
