Vanessa is experienced in treating a myriad of physical conditions, including migraines, digestive issues, fertility, and chronic pain. She is also trauma-informed and has extensive experience treating anxiety, depression and trauma. She believes deeply in patient education and helping people take control of their health outcomes.

With nearly 30 years of experience in the mental health field, I have dedicated my career to supporting individuals and communities through a broad spectrum of services. My professional background spans community mental health, substance use treatment, employee assistance programs, disability advocacy, community corrections, and higher education as an adjunct instructor. This diverse foundation led to the co-founding of WV Therapy and Wellness Center, where I now practice as a licensed mental health counselor in a private setting.
My approach continues to evolve, integrating traditional therapeutic methods with holistic wellness practices. Currently, I’m deepening my practice through teaching yoga aligning mind-body awareness with mental health care. My work is rooted in a commitment to accessible, person-centered support—whether through clinical counseling, advocacy, or education. I believe healing and growth occur when we address the full spectrum of human experience; mental, physical, emotional, and spiritual.
