Hi there, I'm Vanessa!

I specialize in counseling individuals challenged by everyday stressors and traumatic events. My focus is establishing goals and developing a plan to build a strong mindset for peak performance. I work from an educational and strength-based approach that helps you develop knowledge and tools for mental strength and emotional regulation.

My focus

I work with athletes at all levels—student-athletes, amateur and professional, as well as former athletes—in balancing mind, body, and sport for optimal mental health. I also welcome business executives, medical professionals, actors, dancers, and our BIPOC and LGBTQIA+ communities who are motivated to commit to the life they want.

My approach

I use a dynamic, client-centered approach while incorporating mindfulness, cognitive behavioral techniques, and positive psychology. My work addresses anxiety, depression, confidence, injury, focus, trauma, motivation, relaxation, nutrition aversions, emotional health, and goal setting to enhance mental strength and emotional regulation.
