Do you have difficulty managing your emotions? Have you struggled with substance abuse? Are you trying to deal with a challenging work situation? Maybe you aren’t sure what is wrong but you know you want to feel better.

We all need help sometimes. Wherever you find yourself right now, there is the possibility of change.

Hi, I'm Vanessa. I am excited to be joining the team as an associate having recently completed my Master of Arts in Counselling Psychology Degree. As a Registered Psychotherapist with the College of Registered Psychotherapists of Ontario, I work virtually with clients and have spent several years practicing counselling. It is my goal to provide you with high quality, evidence-based care that is effective.

I can help with issues such as depression, anxiety, trauma, compulsive behaviours, substance use and more. As a client-centred therapist, I tailor treatment to meet your individual needs. We work closely to make collaborative goals based on your specific needs. The approach I take leans towards cognitive therapies and skill-building. I work with both adolescents and adults and Kennedy McLean supervises my practice.
