Vanessa brings nearly 20 years of experience in social services, offering mental health services and supporting individuals from diverse backgrounds. Her work has focused on outreach, harm reduction, life skills guidance, advocacy, and social justice. Having completed her Master of Arts in Counselling Psychology, she is excited to offer services at OK Clinical Therapy Group.
Vanessa collaborates with clients to navigate challenges such as stress, anxiety, depression, life transitions, identity exploration, relationship dynamics, and burnout. Using evidence-based approaches, she tailors her work to each client’s unique needs, guiding them toward greater clarity, confidence, and a renewed sense of purpose. She embraces life’s complexities, helping clients find moments of joy and humour, even in challenging times.
As part of her therapy modality, Vanessa’s practice is trauma-informed, strength-based, and intersectional, recognizing the influence of gender, sexuality, socio-economic status, and culture on well-being. She integrates Psychodynamic Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Mindfulness, and Family Systems into her practice while providing neurodivergent and 2SLGBTQ+ affirming care.
