Hi there, I'm Vanessa!

If you are looking for a therapist and need support, sometimes it can be difficult to choose or a discouraging process to find the right therapist to connect with. Imagine a place where you can be yourself, work towards personal goals and growth, free of judgment, with an objective professional.

My approach

My goal is to establish a safe, trusting, collaborative, learning environment to foster healing, personal growth, and development. Creating a therapeutic space of comfort and support, I work together with my clients to explore deep personal issues, encourage new ways of thinking, and strengthen problem-solving skills. I utilize a Cognitive Behavioral (CBT) approach in my therapy.

My focus

I work with a wide range of clients who are dealing with various issues including depression, mood disorders, OCD, ADHD, acute stress, trauma, anxiety, addictive behaviors, codependency, grief and loss, life transitions, and marital issues, with a focus on strengthening communication skills. I see individuals, ranging in age from 13 years old-adulthood.

My communication style

I strive to create an open, collaborative dialogue where you feel heard and understood. Through active listening and thoughtful questions, I aim to gain a deep understanding of your experiences and perspectives. My communication style is warm, non-judgmental, and direct, fostering an environment of trust and safety. Together, we will explore your thoughts and feelings, celebrate your strengths, and work towards your goals at a pace that feels comfortable for you.

My journey to mental healthcare

I earned my Master of Arts degree in psychology with a focus on marriage and family therapy to pursue my passion for helping others navigate life's challenges, achieve personal growth, and healing. My education and training have equipped me with the knowledge and skills to provide effective, evidence-based therapy to my clients.

My goals for you

My goal for you is to provide a safe, non-judgmental space where you can openly explore your thoughts, feelings, and experiences. I aim to empower you with coping skills, insights, and strategies to overcome obstacles, improve your relationships, and enhance your overall well-being. Through our work together, I hope to help you build resilience, gain clarity, and lead a more fulfilling life.

My first session with you

In our first session, we will discuss what brings you to therapy and collaboratively identify your goals. I will gather information about your background, current challenges, and strengths. This session is an opportunity for us to get to know each other and determine if we are a good fit. You can ask any questions you may have about the therapeutic process and my approach. Together, we will develop a plan tailored to your unique needs and begin your journey toward healing and growth.
