Vanessa is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist who enjoys working with adolescents, young adults, women, and their families as they navigate life's challenges and transitions. She believes therapy should be a space where clients feel comfortable being themselves, feel heard without judgment, and have the space to explore who they are and what matters to them.

Vanessa takes an eclectic, client-centered approach to therapy and incorporates humanistic, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), and solution-focused techniques based on each client’s individual needs. She has experience working with adolescents and young adults who may be struggling with anxiety, depression, grief, trauma, relationships, self-esteem, identity, and other life transitions. Vanessa has also worked as a school therapist in both private and public school settings, supporting children and teens with their social, emotional, academic, and developmental needs. She also has experience working with young people and families navigating divorce, grief, and other difficult life experiences.

Vanessa’s goal is to help clients feel more confident in who they are, recognize their strengths, and find their voice. She values building a genuine connection with each client and creating a space where they can openly explore their thoughts and feelings, develop healthy coping skills, and work toward positive change at their own pace.
