Great to meet you!

Hi, my name is Vanessa. With 12 years of experience, I'm adept at treating depression, anxiety, emotional abuse, sexual abuse, PTSD and marriage counseling. Therapy is a tender and vulnerable space. Doing my own work has taught me that it takes courage and compassion to face our hardships. I hold my clients in the highest regard, for their bravery and willingness to look within, to make the changes necessary to create a more fulfilling life for themselves and their loved ones.

A bit about my approach to therapy

I hold a warm, empathetic space to do this work; while also being willing to challenge old beliefs and patterns that keep you stuck. Know that you will be cared for, even when working through the darkest of material. I will support you every step of the way, as we deconstruct the pains of the past and empower you to create a new story for your future.

What you can expect from our first session

My clients gain valuable insights and tools that allow them to navigate even the most difficult situations. With theraputic modalities including EMDR, Internal Family Systems, Emotion Focused Therapy, mindfulness and Gottman Marriage counseling. Freedom is closer than you think. Change is possible. Creating a brighter future is within reach. Schedule today for a better tomorrow.
