Hello! I’m Vanessa, a couples and adult trauma therapist with a calling for helping people improve their relationships and overcome trauma. With both personal and professional experience in this field, I’m dedicated to creating a safe space for healing and growth. I offer Emotionally Focused Therapy for both couples and individuals, addressing a wide range of issues including communication struggles, attachment styles, infidelity, emotional disconnect, and the lasting effects of trauma. If you are a couple stuck in a cycle of negative arguments, mistrust, disconnection, and loneliness, I can help. Together, we’ll work to uncover the underlying issues that are impacting your relationship and build a healthier, happier relationship. My goal is to create a safe space where both partners can express their feelings, rebuild trust, and reconnect in a meaningful way. I also have a special interest in working with couples to overcome and grow from infidelity. For couples impacted by trauma, I incorporate EMDR, an effective and powerful treatment that can help distressed couples to recover from trauma and build security in their relationship. For individuals facing trauma, I also provide EMDR therapy. EMDR is a well-researched therapy that helps you to grow and resolve distressing symptoms of trauma. There are many people who have been able to recover and move on from their trauma using this approach. I’ve received 56 hours of EMDR training and consultation and have seen success with my clients in trauma recovery. There is nothing more fulfilling than hearing one of my clients tell me about the improvements they have made from week to week. Whether you’re looking for therapy as a couple or as an individual wanting to process relationship experiences, I’m here to help you find a way forward. I use research-proven techniques to help clients move beyond their distress and create healthier ways of relating to one another. In our sessions, you can expect a friendly and non-judgmental environment. I’m here to listen and guide you at your own pace, offering support and encouragement every step of the way. Together, we’ll explore what’s holding you back and work toward a brighter, more fulfilling future. If you’re ready to take that first step or just have some questions, don’t hesitate to reach out. I’m excited to hear from you and to be part of your healing journey!
