Therapists in San Jose, CA

Nobody’s childhood dream was to grow up and feel overwhelmed, alone, stuck or unworthy. I aim to help individuals heal from trauma-related issues such as anxiety, depression, and relationship/family issues. If you find yourself living without a navigation system to understand emotional terrain or trauma that impacts your well-being; you are not alone. All of us go through rough patches in our lives. My approach is specific to meet your unique needs in a safe and non-judgemental space.

Hi there, I'm Vanessa. I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) specializing in working with older adults and the people who care for them, whether personally or professionally. I have a particular focus on people living with memory loss, Alzheimer's disease, or other dementia, and their families and friends. I also see clients with chronic illness and those seeking work or other accomodations. I’m based in Silicon Valley, but provide service via telehealth throughout California.

Sometimes everything looks great in our lives, but something feels "wrong" and we don't know why. Other times, life might take unexpected turns and we hit "rough patches" with co-workers, friends, family, partners - maybe even finding difficulties within ourselves. While we've held everything together pretty well, maybe we're thinking we could use some help. Knowing we could use help and asking for help are signs of amazing insight and strength. Therapists may be able to offer the help you're looking for - in an accepting, compassionate space that allows an opportunity to explore what's going on and realize your best hopes.

Martin Luther King, Jr. said it best, "Out of a mountain of despair, a stone of hope." Challenges in life are inevitable and at times, there are challenges that seem larger than our ability to manage them. Issues such as depression, anxiety; healing from previous trauma, and abuse are areas that can grip us and prevent us from living our best lives.

I am a First Generation Vietnamese-American. I grew up in a household with traditional Vietnamese parents who taught me the importance of rituals, family, & strong values.

I am here to listen to you. I work with children, teens, and adults to support exploration of difficult issues and life changes. Often what brings someone to seek counseling, either for themselves or for their child, is being faced with a challenge they need support navigating and resolving.

We all feel lost from time to time, but there’s always light at the end of the tunnel. I’ve been through my own therapy as a young adult when I was stuck in a bout of anxiety and panic attacks due to childhood trauma.

I can help you address unresolved trauma, in order for you to find passion, connection, and purpose in your life.

I find it a privilege to work with adolescents and adults during periods of growth, transition, or challenge in their lives.
