Hi there, I'm Vanessa!

I help clients develop strategies to reduce symptoms of anxiety, depression, PTSD, and overall stress. My approach to therapy is compassion focused. It is important to me that clients feel an ability to find their own power to gain better control over their lives and be active participants of change.

My focus

I typically work with clients who struggle with symptoms of anxiety and depression. I am a good fit for adults of any age who are looking to be active participants in their treatment. I am comfortable with dual diagnoses, and if I feel clients require more than I can provide, I will connect them with the appropriate level of care.

My approach

I use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Brief Solution-Focused Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, mindfulness, Client-Centered Therapy, Compassion-Focused Therapy, and Narrative Therapy. I take a trauma-informed approach with all of these modalities in practice.
