ABOUT VANESSA

Co-Owner, Psychotherapist, Trainer, Coach, Consultant

Are you tired of feeling anxious and always stressed out? Do you feel like others don't understand what you are going through or "just don't get it?" Is the next transition in your life so anxiety producing that you would rather continue to sacrifice your happiness to please others? Have you experienced something so overwhelming that it is affecting your day to day life?

Imagine how it would feel to wake up and be comfortable in your own skin. Life is more enjoyable when you feel less overwhelmed.  Relationships with others are more meaningful when feeling confident and energetic. You deserve to be heard without being judged.

I am a LMHC with over 20 years of experience in the field and have worked in community mental health, forensic and outpatient counseling settings. Are you seeking therapy for self-enrichment or for support with a personal issue?  Click on my website button and make your appointment today.
