About Vanessa
Vanessa uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which means she helps clients notice unhelpful thoughts and try different ways of responding. In sessions she works on clear, doable strategies for coping and problem solving. Clients can expect straightforward conversation, goal setting, and skill practice between meetings.
She also addresses work around attachment, abandonment, and patterns that affect relationships. Vanessa supports people dealing with body image, caregiver stress, communication problems, control issues, and the fallout of divorce or separation. She brings attention to guilt, shame, impulsivity, and feelings of isolation so these issues can be named and managed.
Practical concerns like money stress, life purpose, and mood regulation are part of her focus as well. Vanessa aims to help people build routines and tools that reduce overwhelm. She frames the therapy process as collaborative and paced to the client’s readiness.
To begin, she asks people to reflect on goals and what feels most pressing. That starting conversation shapes a plan that combines short-term coping with longer-term change.

Vanessa will work with each person to decide whether CBT fits their needs and goals. She tailors strategies to what feels doable and keeps checking in to adjust the plan as progress happens.
