I am a Bilingual Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist with 10 years of experience. I have worked with children, adolescents, adults, couples and families. I particularly enjoy working with adults, couples and families. Throughout my career I have supported clients as they dealt with and overcame issues with depression, anxiety, trauma, relationship conflicts, co-occurring disorders, bereavement and anger problems.
My counseling approach and theoretical orientation is person-centered. I believe that providing my clients with a safe, supportive and encouraging environment will assist them in their life journey and in accomplishing their goals. As all individuals are different and require various ways of being supported, I utilize Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Solution Focused Therapy and Dialectical Behavioral Therapy as needed.
My role as a therapist is to meet you where you are, support and guide you through your journey in life. Together, in a supportive environment, we can work towards creating a healthier and happier life for you!

As somebody who has had several therapists thru-out my life in different chapters, I can honestly say Vanessa has helped me break thru sooner and more clearly than any others. She is compassionate, she listens and hears even what is unsaid. She was very direct with me in a time I’ve needed it the most, and pushed me to find the strength I’ve needed to make the right decisions for me and my child.
As I’m walking in uncharted territory she has made herself available and checks in even outside our appointments. She helps to build confidence and remind me of my strength in moments of weakness.
I could not recommend her enough! I am so grateful to have found her, and I assure you, you will be too! The best! Hands down! Thank you Vanessa!

Vanessa is not only a great listener but she is very perceptive. She can tell by my pauses if I am looking for an answer or validation. But she also challenges me to question my thoughts. I am very grateful to have her guiding me.
