Hi My Name is Vanessa. I specialize in working with individuals navigating life transitions, anxiety, depression, and trauma .Prior to becoming a clinician, I worked extensively in social work. That work sparked a desire for me to support individuals in developing internal resources, while exercising social services. I believe that success happens when individuals and families can match the resources they receive with healthy lifestyle choices, self-care, and coping.
I use cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) to help you identify and reshape unhelpful thought patterns. This approach is hands-on and gives you tools to feel more in control of your emotions and behaviors. Based on your unique needs, I may adapt my approach to include practices like mindfulness and other psychodynamic methods.I take a client-centered, collaborative approach to therapy, tailoring each session to your unique needs and goals.
Our first Session is about seeing whether or not I am the best fit for you. The number one indicator of a successful therapeutic alliance is whether or not we are able to build rapport. I am looking forward to meeting you!
