About me

I am licensed in Louisiana with over seven years of professional work experience.

I work with my clients to create an open and safe environment where thoughts and feelings can be shared without fear of judgment.

Vanessa is great! She's willing to listen and not judge for any life decisions and we've worked through so much that's taken me years to even acknowledge in just a few months. Absolutely wonderful, and very friendly

I have only had a few sessions with her but Vanessa has been incredibly thorough and supportive and i have since the first session felt extremely comfortable talking to her. I’m so happy I was matched with her and am looking forward to continuing to work with her.
