ABOUT VANESSA
ABOUT VANESSA
Vanessa strives to take the time to engage with each person’s unique personality and story and believes that healing isn’t one-size-fits-all. She takes a holistic and client-centered approach to therapy - meaning focus is on the whole person and reviewing your goals and concerns. Vanessa’s main goal is to connect with her clients in a way that builds trust and offers hope and support. She likes to think of counseling like a playground sandbox - a safe place to learn, grow, and to explore and test out new ways of doing life and relationships.

Vanessa is a Licensed Resident in Counseling, and is under clinical supervision while pursuing full licensure as an LPC in the state of Virginia. She graduated from Liberty University with a degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling and has experience working with individuals, couples, and children. Before becoming a counselor, Vanessa spent time as a teacher, business owner, and a director of a non-profit young-women’s mentoring organization.
