This was the first time I’ve ever had any kind of therapist so u was skeptical in finding someone who would understand & connect with me the way I needed but I really could not be happier with my experience with Vanessa, she’s so compassionate & empathetic. She really digs down to understand your exact concerns & breaks them down to better understand your situation. Vanessa is a very kind human & I’m so grateful I’ve found her & connected with her:) highly highly recommend her as a therapist
