Before Vanessa, I've had a few therapists in my life and I always had the feeling that they would just nod and just let me talk without much input or attempt to try to understand my internal struggle. I am so grateful to have met Vanessa because she really tries to dive in and decipher what I am going through and gives me an opportunity to think in different ways that help me shine a different light onto my thoughts. I am so thankful!

Vanessa listens and shows understanding to my situations/traumas but also helps me to really take the time to feel, understand and heal through them. She sends work sheets/ meditation practices and knowledgeable information to read and get a bit more of an understanding of what you might be going through and how to process them in a healthy manner. Honestly the best therapist I’ve ever had and I’ve been through many. She’s very responsive, caring and kind. I’m glad I get to have her as not only a therapist but also as a supporter.
