Hello
Hi there! I’m Vanessa, a therapist and clinical intern supervisor at Find Your Shine. I believe in prioritizing our therapeutic relationship, and hope to build a safe space that honors your pace and cultivates trust.
​
A little about me:
-
I’m a Peruvian immigrant. This is such an important identity to me.
-
I love to laugh - dark humor is one of my favorite interventions.
-
I feel most myself when I’m creating. I love all things arts and crafts and will often bounce around hobbies - my current favorites are scrapbooking and making crystal sun catchers.
-
There's not much I enjoy more than a road trip. I love going on drives with my favorite people (bonus if I'm not the driver!).
