About Vanessa


I believe every person has strengths and every relationship has the potential to grow. I work with individuals and couples navigating anxiety, relational difficulties, and the weight of shame or guilt—they often want insight, practical tools, and support to change patterns that no longer serve them. I do not see clients as flawed, but as unique individuals with stories, strengths, and relationships that shape them; I see their resilience, hope, and the possibility for growth, even when that feels hidden.


Within a calm and understanding space, I offer guidance, insight, and practical strategies. Using strengths-based, CBT, and integrative approaches, I help clients notice patterns, experiment with new ways of relating, and build confidence and connection in their relationships and with themselves.


Life can feel heavy when anxiety, guilt, or relationship struggles are weighing on you. I offer a supportive space where you can be heard and can discover new ways forward. You are welcome to book a session or a free phone consultation with me using the links on this page, to start exploring what may help you feel more connected and confident.


Therapy with Vanessa


Therapy with me is a collaborative process. We’ll start by understanding your story, then dive into the challenges you’re facing. Finally, we’ll map out goals and strategies together, drawing on your strengths to create meaningful changes in your relationships, emotions, and daily life.
