Vanessa has a specialized set of skills and experience that have equipped her as a counselor over the last 20 years to work with women in all stages of life.
Vanessa is passionate about coming alongside and serving as a guide for those who feel stuck or lost on life’s journey. Arise Counseling was birthed out of her 20 years of experience walking alongside women and witnessing their unhealthy patterns that were stemming from shame-driven decisions brought on by traumatic experiences.
Vanessa cares deeply about helping women face inner-life obstacles by counseling through scripture and learning to embrace the love, healing power, and forgiveness of our heavenly Father by enabling women to cooperate with the Holy Spirit so they too can arise from the ashes and birth new life where pain no longer has a voice, but a grace-dependent, resurrected life will be their identity.
"God is within her, she will not fall; God will help her at break of day."
– Psalm 46:5
Testimonials
“Vanessa guided me through a time of immense personal growth, starting with my deep-rooted fear of failure to measure up. She has taught me how to recognize (and break) codependency, what it means to be a strong woman of God who follows His will, and even how to navigate the relationship with my husband!”
“When I first came to see Vanessa, I was broken in every way possible. I was in the early stages of my divorce, still reeling from my ex-husband filing. I hit rock bottom more than once on several occasions, I honestly didn’t want to live. I knew I wanted a Christian-based counselor and truly believe God brought me to her. She helped me get to the root of a lot of issues I’ve struggled with my entire life.”
“Vanessa is real, kind, loving, gentle, and authentic. My visits with her are like a breath of fresh air. It’s like putting healing salve on an old infected wound. Most of all, she knows when to bring Jesus into the situation at just the right time.”
WHY CHRISTIAN COUNSELING?
Jesus came to heal the burdened, broken, and exhausted…so that we may experience a grace-dependent life in him, a full life that includes our mental, emotional, and spiritual well-being.
This is what sets Christ-centered counseling apart - the eternal promise of salvation and hope for the restoration of our soul.
Arise Counseling incorporates a holistic approach of faith, the truth of scripture and Christ-centered healing as part of the counseling process, acknowledging there’s a greater purpose to our lives when we allow God’s transforming power to become our identity.
