About Vivian
She uses straightforward conversation and individualized plans rather than one-size-fits-all approaches. Vivian draws on skills from cognitive behavioral therapy and acceptance and commitment therapy to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and take values-driven action. She also brings attachment-based work into sessions to address relationship patterns that affect mood and trust.
Vivian values respect, sensitivity, and compassion in the therapy room. She aims to build a calm space where clients can talk about hard things and set realistic goals. Sessions focus on practical tools, problem-solving, and small, manageable steps toward change.
With five years of experience as an LCSW - licensed clinical social worker - in California, she blends evidence-informed techniques with a client-centered way of listening. That means clients guide the priorities while she offers tools and options.
If someone is struggling with panic attacks, post-traumatic stress, or ongoing workplace stress, Vivian helps them create plans to reduce symptoms and regain control. She also supports people working on self-love, forgiveness, and figuring out life purpose.
