Bio

Hey there, I'm Viviana, a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist and the Founder and Clinical Director of Full Vida Therapy.

I've always been drawn to understanding the power of the human mind and the importance of emotional well-being. That passion led me to become a therapist—to help people heal, grow, and reconnect with their inner strength.

As a member of the Latino community, I understand how culture, family expectations, and lived experiences can shape mental health.

"Therapy can be a transformative journey—one that helps turn pain into resilience. My goal is to provide a safe, compassionate space where you can explore your story, reclaim your voice, and move toward healing."

My Specialties

I specialize in trauma, PTSD, EMDR therapy, anxiety, grief, and loss. With advanced training in trauma-informed care and EMDR, I use evidence-based approaches to help you process painful experiences, rebuild self-worth, and feel more grounded and in control of your life.

Trauma & PTSD

EMDR therapy is highly effective in helping the brain process trauma and rebuild a sense of safety.

Anxiety Treatment

We'll identify triggers, build practical coping tools, and help you regain emotional balance.

Grief & Loss Support

Loss is deeply personal. I provide a compassionate space to process emotions, find meaning, and move forward at your own pace.

My Approach

I take a holistic, culturally responsive approach to therapy, recognizing the mind-body connection and the importance of intersectionality. My work integrates:

  • EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing)
  • Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)
  • Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT)
  • Person-Centered Therapy
  • Narrative Therapy
  • Emotionally Focused Therapy
  • Family Systems Therapy
  • Play Therapy

By blending these modalities, I tailor therapy to your unique needs—creating a warm, client-centered, and non-judgmental space where you feel truly seen and heard.

Client Focus

I work with children (ages 6+), preteens, teens, adults, and elders — as individuals, couples, and families. I also speak Spanish and offer culturally sensitive care.
