Greetings! My name is Vanessa and I am a bilingual Spanish speaking Licensed Clinical Social Worker that was born and raised in California. I have 7 years of professional work experience in the field of mental health working with young children, adolescents, and adults. I enjoy working with diverse populations and seek to empower clients by using a strengths based approach. I also incorporate a blend of Cognitive Behavior Therapy, Solutions Focused Therapy, Mindfulness, and Reflective practice all while having a trauma-informed and culturally sensitive lens. I believe in the mind, body and soul connection and believe we can begin to heal by learning about and caring for our brain and nervous system. I hope to get to know you by going at your pace, providing a safe therapeutic space and transmitting positivity. I enjoy working collaboratively and hope to support you in your journey of achieving your goals.
