Hi there, I'm Vanessa!

I'm so glad you're here. I specialize in perinatal mental health, supporting clients through pregnancy loss, conception, pregnancy, and postpartum journeys with cultural humility and a trauma-focused lens. I also work with anxiety, depression, obsessive-compulsive disorder, panic attacks, employment stress, and relationship conflict.

My focus

I support families, young adults, and adults navigating perinatal experiences like infertility, high-risk pregnancies, NICU hospitalization, and pregnancy options. I also treat mood and anxiety disorders, perinatal OCD, PTSD, life transitions, chronic pain, disordered eating, and substance use.

My approach

I use perinatal EMDR, cognitive behavioral therapy, mindfulness-based approaches, behavioral activation, solution-focused therapy, and motivational interviewing. These modalities help you process trauma, shift unhelpful thought patterns, and build practical coping skills tailored to your unique needs.
