Hi there, I'm Vanessa!

I help adults navigate trauma, anxiety, burnout, grief, and life transitions using a warm, relational, and trauma-informed approach. Drawing from psychodynamic, compassion-focused, and somatic therapies, I support clients in building insight, resilience, and meaningful, lasting change.

My focus

I work with adults facing trauma, anxiety, burnout, grief, relationship challenges, and life transitions. I especially enjoy supporting caregivers, healthcare workers, educators, helping professionals, and others who spend so much caring for others that they've lost touch with themselves.

My approach

My approach is collaborative, compassionate, and grounded in curiosity. I integrate psychodynamic, compassion-focused, somatic, mindfulness, CBT, and DBT-informed approaches to help clients understand long-standing patterns, strengthen nervous system regulation, and create lasting change.
