I have a BA in psychology from Clark Atlanta University (c/o 2002) and a MS in professional counseling from Georgia State University (c/o 2004). I have worked in a variety of therapeutic environments with children, adolescents, families, and adults.

After speaking with Vanessa , for the first time today, I found her wanting to help me to move forward. Like her thoughts about work life balance, and expressing her true thoughts about living life.

Van was super helpful in walking me through my issues. Ensuring self-honesty was key in our session, and I feel more at ease after our sessions.
