About
Vanessa Sadler (she/her)
Experienced | Certified | Supportive
I'm a mixed woman of African American, Native American, Irish, and British descent. As a trauma-informed practitioner, I approach client sessions with the understanding that our styles of relating with God, ourselves and others weren't formed in a vacuum. Our formative years and stories profoundly shape who we are today and are worth exploring with curiosity, patience and kindness.
I'm a trained facilitator in Narrative-Focused Trauma Care through The Allender Center, located within The Seattle School of Theology & Psychology where I'm currently a Fellow. I'm also a certified Spiritual Director, with an emphasis in Ignatian Spirituality as well as a certified Enneagram practitioner.
Through Spiritual Direction, Integrative Story Work, and the Enneagram my desire is to come alongside you as a companion and guide on the path toward deeper abiding and to support and encourage you as you experience the fullness you were created for.
