Meet Vanessa
Human Service Counseling Professional
I started my journey in the Human Service field in 1993 and ever since; serving families has always been a part of my life. Although I have a BS in Psychology and MA in Human Service Counseling with a focus on crisis and trauma; I think my life experiences have added just as much value to the work I do with children and families. Pursuing my Ed.D in Community Care and Counseling (Traumatology) will allow me to further educate other human service professionals on the impact trauma has on individuals emotionally and mentally. I am also an experienced professional with a background in Business Analysis, Project Management, and Customer Advocacy. I think the word we use for someone like me is "well rounded."
I believe that every person in need of services deserves to work with someone who provides those services without judgement or bias. They should have someone who serves from a place of transparency, compassion and empathy. My goal with each person or family is to give them hope to heal and courage to do the work necessary to live life from a place of emotionally and mental stability.

Parent Coaching
Parent coaching services are designed with a strength based approach to improve parenting skills and utilize them to re-direct challenging behaviors in the home.
