Vanessa (she/her/hers) graduated from Yorkville University in May 2019 with her Masters of Counselling Psychology and is currently completing her Doctorate in Clinical Psychology at Adler University (Vancouver Campus). She is a Psychology Team Member with Dalton Associates and Launch Behavioural Health. Under the supervision of a Registered Psychologist, Vanessa is providing psychotherapy services and completing psychological assessments.
Throughout her clinical training, she has gained experience completing psychodiagnostic and psychoeducational assessments for children, youth, young adults, and adults for neurodevelopmental disorders (e.g., ASD, ADHD, learning disorders) and mental health conditions, (e.g., anxiety, depression, OCD).
Vanessa maintains a non-judgmental, empathetic, and warm approach to psychotherapy. She provides a client-centered and integrated approach, meaning she works collaboratively with clients to address any challenges or concerns they are facing, and can help her clients identify and utilize their strengths, address their goals, and improve their lives, while using emotion-focused, psychodynamic, trauma-informed and cognitive behavioural techniques. She facilitates a welcoming space to explore her clients’ concerns, including those related to anxiety, communication, depression, emotion regulation, and trauma.
