I've only had one session so far, but Vanessa is really easy to talk to. I immediately cried as I started to describe my emotional situation, and she was able to calm me down and have a productive session. I am excited for my next session to explore ways I can take control of my life.

We are heading into session 3 and Vanessa already has brought so much clarity to my perspective. She has me doing some writing exercises that are reflective for me & im looking forward to our future sessions and discussions.

Vanessa is a very effective therapist and communicator. I've enjoyed our sessions, and she's been extremely helpful while dispensing wisdom and spaciousness. She challenges perspectives when it makes sense for her to do so, and offers finely tuned perspective without preaching or attempting to change.
