Hello, I am Vanessa! I have my bachelor of science in Pre-Professional Psychology and master's of science in Human Services Counseling degree from Southwestern Assemblies of God University.
Recently I have focused my practice in helping PERINATAL MOOD AND ANXIETY DISORDERS. This means that from trying to CONCEIVE, PREGNANCY, BIRTH, and POSTPARTUM or LOSS during this time, I help individuals trying to navigate through this stage of life.

I have extensive post graduate training in Maternal Mental Health from Postpartum Support International and 2020 Mom Project. I come from a Christian conservative viewpoint and hope this is helpful for the journey we embark on toward wholeness and health!

Vanessa really understands what's going through my head and has a great way of cutting to the heart of the problem. She offers useful tools and tips for managing my problems and gives me confidence that with time I can do this. I feel like I can always reach out to her no matter the time or place. I look forward to future sessions with her.
