I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with over 15 years of experience counseling individuals of all ages. Throughout my career as a social worker, I’ve worked in a variety of settings including hospitals, nursing homes, residential addiction treatment centers, and crisis stabilization with childrenfamilies; in public, private and voluntary sectors. I also worked abroad (UK) for 2 years where I gained meaningful experience working with a variety of cultures. I am Bilingual (EnglishSpanish) and, as such, recognize the importance of being culturally aware. I believe that my relationships with clients can be healing and that effective interventions start with a genuine human connection. I look forward to hearing from you!
Our first session is an opportunity for us to get to know each other and see if we're a good fit for one another.
I have always been drawn to humanistic models of therapy that focus on a collaborative relationship based on real interactions, and unconditional positive regard. I also utilized modalities such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, Gestalt, Strengths Based Approach and Dialectical Behavior Therapy. I am a trauma-informed practitioner and enjoy utilizing expressive arts as a conduit to healing.
I feel my biggest strengths are rooted in trauma work, ADHD, OCD, anxiety and depression.

She has extensive experience working with individuals who have ADHD which is exactly what I was looking for. I’m so happy to have found her, she really gets it and makes me feel understood.

Vanessa’s intelligent, holistic, and direct approach has truly helped me grow. She understands the frustration that comes with the journey to emotional stability and offers real, solution-oriented support. She doesn’t just talk—she’s lived it. Her warmth feels like that of a loving sister, and she’s open to diverse ideas and healing methods. I feel deeply supported, understood, and empowered every time we meet. She’s truly amazing.
