More about Vania
- 22 years' experience
- Female
- LCSW
I provide compassionate and empathetic therapy for individuals navigating life's challenges. I work with individuals experiencing anxiety, life transitions, stress, and women’s issues.
I have a special interest in working with parents of neurodivergent children, recognizing the unique joys and emotional complexities that accompany raising a child with autism or ADHD, or both. Many parents experience stress, emotional exhaustion, and advocacy fatigue as they navigate challenges that are often invisible to others.
My goal is to provide you with a space that is entirely your own, where you can speak openly, process your experiences, and receive support without judgment. Together we will identify strengths and strategies tailored to your specific emotional needs.
Whether you are adjusting to a new phase of life, balancing family and career, coping with caregiving demands, or seeking greater emotional wellness, I would be honored to accompany you on this journey.

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.
Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.
