About Vanessa
I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor and a National Certified Counselor. Are you struggling with low self-esteem? Have you lost a loved one and are unsure how to move on without them? I believe that everyone has a unique story and experience in life. My goal is to allow you to openly share your stressors, gain awareness, and assist you in building the confidence to find the solutions to your struggles. I will assist you in exploring your thought process and emotional patterns by using a series of techniques from various approaches. And I will create a secure atmosphere where you will feel appreciated and will obtain the highest quality of care while working towards achieving emotional independence.
My approach emphasizes and focuses on your personal growth. I support clients of all ages in making healthy decisions, minimizing negative stressors, overcoming obstacles, and developing more fulfilling lives. I work with clients who experience adjustment issues, anxiety, depression, multicultural/ethnic issues, faith-based challenges, grief, and or trauma.
It can be challenging to reach out and ask for support, but together we will come up with the best methods to create essential improvements in your life to help you become healthier. If you are struggling with one or more stressors, please schedule a free phone consultation to determine if my approach fits your needs.
