I am a licensed clinical social worker psychotherapist licensed in Oklahoma with over 5 years of experience in the field. I have worked with clients with a wide range of concerns including depression, anxiety, personality disordered, OCD, ADHD & end of life. I also helped individuals who have experienced physical trauma or emotional traumas.
My therapy style is client directed, empathy based and engaging. I believe in treating anyone with respect, sensitivity, and compassion, and I don't believe in stigmatizing labels. My approach combines cognitive-behavioral, humanistic, psychodynamic and rational-emotive therapy. I will tailor our dialog and treatment plan to meet your unique and specific needs.
It takes courage to seek a more fulfilling and happier life and to take the first steps towards change. If you are ready to take that step, I am here to support and empower you.
I look forward to working with you!

Vanessa is fantastic. She's respectful, understanding, patient and gives honest feedback. She asks questions that make me think more in depth about what I'm doing or thinking, and is flexible with appointments if the regular schedule can't accomodate. Extremely helpful all around!

Vanessa has been a great listener, along with very empathetic. I feel like she really understood why I was feeling the way I was, and didn't try to dismiss those feelings. She gave me some great advice on how to manage my emotions, especially the negative ones, to help me cope better. I'd highly recommend her.

Vanessa is great, really good therapist
Written on Jun 21, 2022 after therapy with Vanessa for 4 months on issues concerning depression, stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, sleeping disorders, anger management, bipolar disorder, and adhd
She helps to give me practical guides and advice to follow and apply. She helps to hold me accountable by sending me educational worksheets or podcasts that may help me through what I’m dealing with at the time. For me hands on learning helps and I feel she takes time to find tools for me to use. Highly would suggest her someone looking for a push in yourself but not someone who gives you the answers.
