Vanessa is great! She's willing to listen and not judge for any life decisions and we've worked through so much that's taken me years to even acknowledge in just a few months. Absolutely wonderful, and very friendly

I have only had a few sessions with her but Vanessa has been incredibly thorough and supportive and i have since the first session felt extremely comfortable talking to her. I’m so happy I was matched with her and am looking forward to continuing to work with her.
