My treatment methods

EMDR

Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, EMDR, has been proven to be highly effective in helping those struggling from traumatic events and distressing memories. This method involves bilateral stimulation, (visual, auditory or tactile) which occur in a rhythmic left-right pattern, while you process traumatic memories. Our goal will be to use EMDR to help you heal from trauma or other distressing life experiences. Generally, it's common to feel lighter and less weighed down after going through EMDR. The problem that brought you to therapy often feels less significant, and old triggers won't have their usual effect. You'll likely find that you are no longer scared or anxious about things that once bothered you.

Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)

Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) is a therapy that focuses on thoughts (cognitions) and behaviors. It's based on the idea that thoughts, feelings, and behaviors can influence a person's quality of life, and that psychological problems can be caused by unhelpful ways of thinking and learned behaviors. Using this therapy method we can explore your thoughts and behaviors, and how they are barriers to satisfaction in your life. Then we'll work together to help you learn better ways of coping, replacement thoughts & behaviors, and problem solving strategies that move you forward toward your goals and life satisfaction.

Strength-Based

Strengths-based therapy is a counseling approach we can use to identify your current strengths and help you gain the confidence and motivation you need to achieve your goals.

Reality Therapy

Unlike more conventional forms of therapy, reality therapy specifically focuses on an individual's current state and places less importance on past experiences or the presence of mental health conditions. In sessions Reality therapy techniques will emphasizes the impact of your choices on your actions, which can lead to a personal sense of accountability and empowerment over your behaviors.

Victoria is patient and kind. I feel heard and she displays assertiveness to help me see patterns of poor self talk and reframing views about a variety of situations.

I am extremely grateful to have found Victoria. For the first time I have found a therapist who is actually helping me to work through past traumas. She is very compassionate. When my session before last started I was in a very high chronic pain day. She was able to help me get relief and brought me back from "fight or fright" mode. I just love her. She is my forever therapist.
