In my private practice I work with individuals, couples, families and groups. I help people with anxiety, mood dilemmas, and accumulated emotional strain. I support couples in working through disconnection, conflict, and reactivity. I also work with healthcare professionals and caregivers addressing emotional exhaustion, burnout moral distress, and role pressure. Many clients come with symptoms of anxiety, panic, dissociation, or emotional numbing. I offer groups for chronic pain, and have had some measurable success.

Hi! I'm Vanessa. I'm a first-generation immigrant based in San Diego, CA. Originally from South East Asia, I've worked and lived in Singapore, Taiwan, and Buffalo, NY. Outside of the therapy room, you can usually find me cooking, playing softball, snuggling under a heated blanket, or playing fetch with my dog!
I love the storytelling of my clients. I believe our core relationships shape who we are in powerful ways. They influence how we see ourselves, the decisions we make, and the people we choose to keep close. We will sort through what matters most and focus on what feels realistic and helpful, together.
