Find Alignment and Live Authentically with Integrative Psychotherapy .

Taking the first step toward therapy is courageous, especially when life feels out of balance.

The pressure from family, work, and societal expectations can be overwhelming. I’m here to help you rediscover who you truly are and find alignment with your authentic self.

Hi, I’m Vanessa —

Integrative Psychotherapist in Pasadena, CA

I’m a licensed therapist in South Pasadena, CA, offering Integrative Psychotherapy and Somatic Experiencing Therapy. My approach helps you overcome challenges like anxiety, depression, and life transitions, with a focus on your unique needs.

Unlike therapists who use a single method, I blend various therapeutic techniques to address your mental, emotional, and physical well-being. Integrative therapy is customized to each person, focusing on mind, body, and spirit, while considering the impact of the systems around you.

What is Integrative Psychotherapy?

My Integrative Approach to Therapy—

When establishing a therapeutic relationship with a new client, I focus on getting a sense of who you are, what your goals are, and what approaches and techniques are best suited for you. An integrative approach to therapy means there isn’t a one-size-fits-all solution for all clients.

I draw from a variety of clinically grounded frameworks, techniques, and tools to create an individualized, evidence-based treatment plan best suited for your unique personality, interests, and desired outcomes. 

I believe the best therapeutic outcomes are facilitated by incorporating all aspects of the human that you are — mind, body, and spirit.

I work with individuals and couples using an integrative approach to therapy.

New clients come to me with a variety of issues they want to work through. Maybe you’re experiencing similar challenges…

  • Fear of not being “good enough” or “too much”

  • Navigating life transitions (e.g., motherhood, career changes, aging)  

  • Overcoming grief, loss, or disconnection from loved ones

  • Struggling to find your voice in relationships or at work

I approach every challenge with curiosity and compassion, creating a safe space for growth. You’re not alone in your journey.
