Change can be uncomfortable, disruptive, and sometimes even traumatic—yet it is an inevitable and necessary part of life’s journey. What may be viewed as scars can be transformed into a restorative process of healing, hope, and spiritual growth. Vanessa is here to support you along this personal and purposeful path.

Utilizing a strength-based, trauma-informed, solution-focused, and client-centered approach, Vanessa strives to help individuals gain clarity about their goals, live authentically, and develop healthy coping strategies for common life stressors as they pursue meaningful change. While the process can be emotionally challenging at times, the reward is deeply empowering. As a New York native with Afro-Caribbean roots and over 30 years of clinical experience, Vanessa is passionate about helping you “live the life you love and love the life you live.”

In her spare time, Vanessa enjoys dancing, listening to music, reading, traveling, and spending quality time walking and talking with her loved ones.
