PASSIONATE AND ENERGETIC

Vanessa is very passionate about the work she does as a coach, and is always excited to share her tools with others. She primarily works with entrepreneurial and working women, but is helpful to anyone that is looking to live more intentional lives through thought work.

Those who have worked alongside Vanessa know she is a positive and uplifting presence everywhere she goes. There are no shortages of support or friendly greetings when she’s around. For this reason, it was no surprise that she has chosen to coach and uplift others as they work towards empowerment.

Vanessa also co-hosts a podcast with her husband, Jacob. In their podcast, The Coach & The Therapist, they discuss many topics surrounding mental health. With her being a life coach and him a marriage and family therapist, they have many similarities and differences in their approaches.

Get direction for your life!

Most of our poor decisions and behaviors that we wish we could re-do are driven by our feelings. In most cases we are probably reacting from an emotion and not even really thinking!

ODD is one of the most common behavioral disorders among kids. Unfortunately, people exhibiting these behaviors are sometimes mislabeled as "naughty" or "bad," which can be damaging.

Regulate your emotions and then engage in co-regulation with your teen from a place of curiosity and compassion.
