Vanessa is a Master Practitioner of Clinical Counselling (MPCC) who provides a safe and transformative space for individuals navigating trauma, relationship complexities, and addiction. Registered with the Canadian Professional Counsellors Association (CPCA), she integrates evidence-based modalities such as Dialectical Behavioural Therapy (DBT), Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), and Internal Family Systems (IFS) to help clients build resilience.
At the heart of Vanessa’s practice is a person-centred and nonjudgmental approach rooted in harm reduction. She is deeply committed to anti-oppressive and decolonial practices, ensuring that every client feels seen and respected within their unique cultural and systemic context. With specialised training in suicide prevention (ASIST) and extensive experience in neurodiversity, she offers a nuanced and inclusive perspective to those with diverse needs.
Currently, Vanessa balances her time between her work in Addictions Management and Substance Use at Island Health and her private practice. A graduate of the Vancouver College of Counsellor Training (2018), she holds a Diploma in Professional Counselling and a specialised Certificate in Counselling of Intimacy in Relationships. She is also currently completing her Social Work degree at the University of Victoria (Class of 2026) to further broaden her clinical impact and advocacy.
