Vanessa has seen me for approximately 10 years and has been nothing but kind, understanding, thoughtful when it comes to listening to my problems and incredibly knowledgeable with helping me understand how to process and proceed from them. In addition to this she relays personal advice and evidence based findings that I have always found insightful. A pleasure to be around and very good at what she does.
