After retiring as a 30 year high school exceptional education teacher, I leveraged my mental health counseling education, wealth of experience in the classroom and became licensed as a professional counselor in 2018. Prior to becoming a licensed professional counselor I was a superivised associate professional counselor. I have worked and continue to work with clients with a wide range of challenges-anxiety, depression aging, ADHD, Aspergers, HIV, and substance abuse. I will attempt to guide, support and provide each client with the tool that will help to educate, encourage and empower them.
My goal is to provide a safe place to help you rewrite your current narrative, because I fee that change is inevitable, change can be challenging, but most of all, change can be beautiful.

Dr. Vanessa is truly a gift. She is helping me understand how to manage my anxiety through helping me through the early stages of my journey with God. She is intensely knowledgeable, caring and clear. Dr Vanessa is excellent at using anecdotes, metaphors and Biblical references to help pull me out of my spinning overthinking. I've made a lot of progress in the past 2.5 months with Dr Vanessa and while I still have a long way to go, I feel more ok about that than I have in the past.
