Meet Vanessa

Hi! I’m Vanessa, wife, mom of two adorable little people, farm girl at heart, avid KU basketball fan, and licensed professional counselor.

My degree (MSEd) is from The University of Pennsylvania. I am fully trained in EMDR through EMDRIA and am both IFS-informed and Level 1 trained through the Internal Family Systems Institute.

I provide coaching and counseling services via telehealth throughout all of South Dakota and in select areas in Pennsylvania.

Maybe you’re like I was before I discovered trauma-informed therapy: You’re a driven, hardworking professional whose past keeps unexpectedly showing up in the present, seeming to get in the way.

Maybe you, too, didn’t grow up in a space where mental health was a discussion (ever). Maybe you still live in a rural place where your provider options are limited. I get it, I’ve been there.

Or maybe your marriage or other significant relationship(s) in your life feels like it could be something more. Something deeper. Something better.

Whatever brings you here, welcome. This is a safe, inclusive space, and I’m glad you found me.

Access my resume here.

I am a mental health counselor who works with adults who feel like their past is getting in the way of their present--and with couples who desire deeper connection in their relationship.
