Change can be uncomfortable, disruptive, and at times even traumatic, yet it is also an inevitable and meaningful part of life’s journey. What may begin as pain or “scars” can become part of a restorative process of healing, hope, and spiritual growth. Vanessa is honored to walk alongside you on this personal and purposeful path.

Using a strength-based, trauma-informed, solution-focused, and client-centered approach, Vanessa helps individuals gain clarity about their goals, live more authentically, and develop healthy coping strategies for navigating everyday life stressors. Therapy can be emotionally challenging at times, but Vanessa believes the rewards—growth, insight, and renewed hope—are deeply worth it.
