Vanessa is that voice of truth you need to hear reminding you of God's love for your life when circumstances are trying to contradict it. I will definitely recommend her service.

Vanessa worked w me from Aug 2021 - Dec 2022 and in that time, I can confidently say that I've grown so much as a person thanks to her. I sought help because both the mania and the depression from my bipolar disorder were getting in the way of my day-to-day life. She taught me how to cope with stress and strong emotions through techniques like breathing, meditating, journalling, etc. She helped me pinpoint stressors and recognize my triggers, traumas, etc. She listened really well and I felt heard and understood; I could consider her both a therapist and a friend. She asked the right questions that would lead me to my own answers. I'm able to move on to different problems now (ADHD, confidence, etc) that she's helped me address the ones I came to her with. 11/10 would recommend!
