She is drawn to humanistic and feminist frameworks and incorporates a variety of modalities, including psychodynamic therapy, narrative therapy, dialectic behavioral therapy (DBT), somatic practice, and mindfulness-based techniques. She specializes in helping women and adolescents navigate complex relationships, ambiguous grief, existential stress, and trauma, as well as LGBTQ+ communities and those interested in addressing their connection to body image and food. Vesta strongly values the therapeutic relationship and aims to form a partnership in which individuals and families collaborate in the healing process.
