“Honestly it was nice finding Vanessa. When someone understands exactly what you are saying and digs deep to uncover the root. That to me is someone that shows knowledge, understanding and care. It's been a great healing journey for me. I highly recommend Vanessa, she knows what she is doing and has the right passion, understanding, knowledge, and drive. You will not be disappointed.”

She validates our feelings while also challenging us in thoughtful, constructive ways. She's given great tangible actions for both us that have impacted our marriage for the better. We’re grateful for her support and highly recommend her!”

She was a great communicator and listener. I also just wish that we didn’t have to go through the questions for us and just jump in , but that’s just my perspective but everything else was great.

This first appointment was just intake so we haven’t dove in yet. However, she was pleasant, on time, reached out when I couldn’t log in, and I feel I will be comfortable opening up with her. She made me feel relaxed and welcome. I look forward to meeting with her again next week.
