My husband and I started meeting with Vanessa a few months ago and we really appreciate how much she has helped us. My communication skills have improved tremendously. She helped us stop the cycle of nightly fighting and understand how to have productive conversations. I would recommend her to any couple who feels they could benefit from therapy.

Vanessa makes us feel heard. I appreciate her unbiased methods to help my husband and I get past our differences. We’ve been speaking more and understanding each other’s perspectives more and I thank Vanessa for helping us get to where we are now.

Vanessa was there when we needed her. My partner and I needed a caring but strict (my partner jokes at the best of times and worst of times) to get us to communicate again. She never forgot about us and we did not have to wait long for communications.

Thanks Vanessa!!

On my first session I was nervous but after the first five minutes I Knew she was the right person and was relaxed and open

Written on Dec 10, 2021 after therapy with Vanessa for 1 month on issues concerning relationship

Vanessa is wonderful. She is very real with us which we needed and I appreciated. She helped us realize the important things and taught us how to work through or ignore the silly things that bugged us down. She was always very transparent in her feelings and didn’t hold back. If she thinks you need to hear something she will say it. I love that about her. She helped me in my relationship not only with my partner but I’ve taken skills she’s given me to other areas of my life as well. I almost wish we still needed therapy to just chat with Vanessa. 10/10 ❤️

Excellent therapist!!!!

Vanessa is very observant. She picks up on body language, what you say, and what you don't say. She also very efficient in her communications and tailors her questions to each relationship (some questions she'll ask both parties and other: 1 of the 2). Vanessa has a great way of helping you understand a concept with clear communication and is very friendly. Great listening, honesty and support. Seen improvements in 2 sessions using her recommendations. Highly recommend!
