About me

I am a marriage and family therapist licensed in California with over 10 years of experience and also hold an undergraduate degree in nutrition and dietetics. I have worked with clients experiencing a wide range of concerns including depression, anxiety, relationship issues, career challenges, and stress management. I have also helped many people who have experienced physical trauma or emotional abuse.

My counseling style is warm and interactive. I believe in treating everyone with respect, sensitivity, and compassion, and I don't believe in stigmatizing labels. My approach combines cognitive-behavioral, solution-focused, and a variety of other client centered modalities. I will tailor our dialog and treatment plan to meet your unique and specific needs.

It takes courage to seek for a more fulfilling and happier life and to take the first steps towards change. If you are ready to take that step I am here to support and empower you.

I look forward to working with you!

She gives feedback and suggestions. Very kind

Written on Jan 24, 2023 after therapy with Vani for 4 months on issues concerning depression, family conflicts, anger management, and compassion fatigue

She does listen
I do most of the talking, about my same concern
She hasn’t really given me much input or recommendations to help me she asks me what I think about my situation
Therefore we’re just going around in a circle

She’s incredibly kind and does her best to seek where you are coming from and give perspective and/or guidance to where issues might be coming from. She knows that you are the expert in yourself and she will take any suggestions or insight that you have on yourself. She will grow your healthy skills and habits of mind, while also challenging any unkind or unhelpful and unhealthy ones. Grateful for working with her on my own mental, emotional, and spiritual journey.

I feel like after a couple on month’s with her, I have better coping my skills than I did before. During our sessions, she truly listened and helped me see things from an objective perspective, yet she was always understanding and validated my feelings. I have already recommended her to so many people.

Vani listened to my woes and offered practical advice. Even when I could not meet up, she checked in on me through messages and I greatly appreciated it.
