Hi there, I'm Vanessa!

I work with people navigating substance use, trauma, and life's challenges. I'm passionate about creating a safe space where you can explore, heal, and grow.

My focus

I work with people healing from trauma, addressing substance or alcohol use, repairing relationships damaged by addiction, and recovering from burnout. Together, we can reduce substance use, build support networks, and restore hope and energy.

My approach

I use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, narrative therapy, Motivational Interviewing, and other evidence-based techniques. We'll discuss treatment options together and decide what fits your needs best.
