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
Written on Jan 10, 2023 after therapy with Vani for 2 weeks on issues concerning stress, anxiety, sleeping disorders, and career difficulties
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.

My favorite thing about Vani is that she's understated. She's got a quiet and calm demeanor, but she's got a strong hand on the throttle of the conversation, too. She doesn't impose herself or interrupt, but when she speaks, it's concise and insightful, confident and firm. You definitely feel like you're in good hands.
