I am a mental health therapist licensed in Florida with over 20 years of experience working as a clinician, diagnostic assessor, and life coach. I have worked with clients with a wide range of concerns including depression, anxiety, relationship issues, parenting problems, career challenges, depression, anxiety, bipolar, schizophrenia, ADHD, substance use and more. I also helped many people who have experienced physical trauma or emotional abuse. I have worked inpatient, outpatient, group, couples and individual therapy.
My therapy style is warm and interactive. I believe in treating everyone with respect, sensitivity, and compassion, and I don't believe in stigmatizing labels. My approach combines cognitive-behavioral, humanistic, motivational interviewing, solution focused, client-centered, internal family systems, 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 growth. If you are ready to take that step, I am here to support and empower you.
I look forward to working with you!

Grateful to speak with Vanessa and have developed such comfort in opening up in a fraction of the time it’s taken me with past therapists.
Vanessa listens, like REALLY listens and I feel like I can ramble as long as I want without her interrupting or making me feel like I’m talking too much.
While we’ve only been working together for a short time, I look forward to her warm voice and positive attitude as if she’s ready to tackle anything I throw at her, no matter how crazy, she doesn’t judge instead is very vivid and lively in her responses while staying professional and efficient with our timed sessions.
I have great confidence in the progress we’re making and will continue to make.
Once more, thank you Vanessa.

She is so caring and attentive! I was nervous about starting therapy for the first time ever, and she made the process so easy and comfortable. Highly recommend!

We have only just begun our journey, but I have felt better about myself and doing things in a couple of weeks then I have in the last several, to the past couple months even. So I'm looking forward to this walk and growth process
