Clinical Psychologist Vanessa combines a profound passion for understanding human behavior and helping individuals reach their highest potential with a strong fascination for trading. After earning her BSc in Clinical Psychology in Montreal, Canada, she moved to Belgium to join a world-renowned team in consciousness research for her Master’s and PhD degrees at the University of Liege. Alongside her academic journey, Vanessa developed a deep interest in the psychology of finance and decision- making in money-related matters. She began investing in the stock market as soon as she could, and in late 2021, a friend introduced her to swing trading. This path led her to discover Andrew’s ‘How to day trade for a living’ book and community, which inspired her to explore day trading further. She was captivated by the deep connection between psychology and finance in this career path, as well as the potential for trading to offer greater personal and financial freedom. Since then, Vanessa has been fully dedicated to honing her skills and becoming the best trader she can be, while also aspiring to help others achieve success in their own trading journeys. While learning to trade stocks, Vanessa became captivated by the futures market, and since 2023, she has focused exclusively on trading futures indices and commodities. As both a clinical psychologist and trader, she was fascinated by the powerful role of mindset in trading performance. This inspired her to merge her passions, offering psychological support to traders by providing evidence-based tools inspired by the power of habits, mindfulness, emotional regulation, decision making processes and mental resilience. Vanessa’s approach focuses on helping traders develop a ‘trader mindset’ enabling them to overcome psychological and behavioral barriers to reach their trading goals. At the same time, she is committed to advancing research on the psychological and technical aspects of trading to promote best practices to the trading community.
