Hi there, I'm Vanessa!

I'm a therapist dedicated to supporting individuals through life's most challenging moments. With six years of clinical experience, I work with clients navigating stress, anxiety, trauma, grief, and addiction—helping them find clarity, healing, and renewed sense of purpose.

My focus

I specialize in supporting women through trauma recovery, posttraumatic stress, guilt and shame, forgiveness work, and family-of-origin issues. I also have experience with process addictions and substance use concerns, as well as supporting older adults through life transitions and aging-related challenges.

My approach

My approach is grounded in compassion and evidence-based practice.
