Reconnect. Rediscover. Reclaim Life On Your Terms.
Effective Therapy to help you Rise Through Trauma, Rewrite Their Story and Find Joy
What if I told you that you are not broken, you are just carrying too much?
You’ve always been the one who keeps it all together, even when you’re falling apart on the inside.
Maybe you are here because parenting feels like a constant landmine-one wrong step and you explode with guilt and shame. You love your kid deeply, but their big feelings or needs seem to fine every raw and tender spot inside you.
Maybe you’re haunted by how your own childhood shaped you— taught you to people please, to make yourself smaller and quieter until you disappeared, to push through the pain without every asking what about me?
Or maybe it’s a betrayal that brought you here- relationships with family and other systems that were supposed to feel safe, but instead left you questioning your worth and sanity.
And now you are feeling
exhausted
burned out
irritable
numb
anxious
hyper-aware of everyone else’s need but your own
You dont need to “just calm down,” or “be more patient,” or “more grateful.”
You need a space where you get to feel seen, held, and supported without judgement. Without shame.
That’s where I come in!
Hi! I am Venessa.
I am happy you are here!
I help women and parents unravel the knots of trauma, attachment wounds, and generational patterns so they can show up for themselves and their relationships with more clarity, connection and compassion.
I specialize in treating trauma, anxiety, grief and loss & parents who are raising complex kids, helping clients ditch old beliefs and expectations so that they can reclaim the life they were meant to live. We will take a deep dive look into all the messages that you have learned over the years and start to figure out what you truly want. Let’s move you from surviving day to day life to truly living it!
Together we will rediscover who you were meant to be before the world told you otherwise. We will use evidence based therapy strategies that will help you heal so that you can enjoy the life you work hard for, find more joy in your day to day interactions and create deeper connections in your relationships.
You don’t have to do this alone, I am here to help.

Has time healed all wounds? Not likely. Life is tricky and there are experiences that are still affecting us no matter how much time has passed. We will work together to get to the root of these experiences so the past is no longer affecting your present or your future.
-
Whether it is through death of a loved one or the loss of a life we imagined having but don’t’, we are going to explore ways to befriend our grief so that we are no longer consumed by feelings of guilt & shame for “not getting past it.”
-
Parenting is HARD! It can be even more layered when your kiddo has needs that you were not expecting. Together we will explore the complexities of parenting in a world that is not designed for kids to need and learn differently and find the skills to keep you sane in the process!

Anxiety can feel suffocating - all that worry, self-doubt, and feeling like you can never really take a deep breath . Whether it shows up as endless “what-ifs,” avoidance, or an overwhelming sense of fear, therapy can help you take back control.
i’ll help you understand why anxiety is showing up and learn tools to calm both your mind and body, so you can start to feel relief. We’ll use therapies like Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART) and Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) which offer effective, science-backed approaches to healing. Both therapies help rewire the brain’s response to stress, trauma, and anxiety triggers, helping you to break free from fear, so you can move forward with peace and confidence.
