My approach to therapy

Vanessa likes to compare therapy to a home renovation (with YOU being the home). Renovations can be simple, like new kitchen cabinets. Renovations can also be major, like razing a house to the ground and building a completely new one. Whatever you are looking to build or remodel, we will do that together in the way that you prefer.

What you can expect from me

In your first session, we are going to spend lots of time getting to know you. I am most interested in knowing what you would like to achieve, both in the short term and long term. Understanding your likes, dislikes and your goals for treatment will set us up for certain success.
