About Vanessa
I believe that being human means we will all experience moments of uncertainty, stress, and struggle, and that we don’t have to navigate them alone. I work with adult individuals who may be feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or uncertain about what comes next. I see each person as more than the challenges they are facing, recognizing that our experiences, relationships, culture, and environment shape how we see ourselves and the world. My hope is to help you feel genuinely heard, understand yourself more deeply, and move toward meaningful change.
I offer a warm, non-judgmental space where you can feel heard, understood, and supported. I work with adults navigating anxiety, stress, life transitions, relationships, self worth, and feeling overwhelmed or stuck. My integrative approach draws from strength-based, solution-focused, psychodynamic, CBT, ACT, DBT skills, IFS-informed, and narrative approaches, allowing us to tailor therapy to your unique needs and goals.
Starting therapy can feel vulnerable, especially when you’re unsure where to begin. You don’t have to have everything figured out before reaching out. If you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to connect. I offer a free 15-minute consultation to discuss what you’re looking for and see if we might be a good fit. You’re also welcome to book a session directly through our website.
Therapy with Vanessa
Therapy with me is collaborative, compassionate, and grounded in your individual needs. We’ll begin by getting to know you, understanding what brought you to therapy, and identifying your goals. From there, we’ll work together to make sense of your experiences, develop practical coping tools, and build toward your goals. You’ll never be expected to navigate the process alone.
Vanessa’s Story
My journey toward becoming a therapist has been shaped by both my personal and professional experiences. My own experiences with adversity, loss and uncertainty growing up sparked a curiosity about others and the stories that shape who we become. They taught me how meaningful it can be to feel understood and supported when life feels difficult or unclear.
Before becoming a therapist, I worked in the non-profit sector supporting individuals and communities impacted by problem gambling. This experience deepened my desire to understand and support people in a more personal way, ultimately leading me to pursue my Master’s in Counselling Psychology. Today, I strive to create a warm, compassionate space where clients can feel safe to explore their experiences, recognize their strengths, and find their own path forward.
