30 years of experience

Hi, I'm Victoria, I've been honing my specialties for 30 years. I specialize in releasing trauma and old beliefs, rewiring mental habits to result in improved confidence, self esteem, clarity to follow dreams and goals. Since training in the bilateral therapies (EMDR, A.R.T., and Brainspotting) I've witnessed healing on a whole new level. Changing beliefs, thoughts and feelings that have been lifelong takes more than talking about, in my opinion. It requires change in the deep sub conscious, a place easily entered and "edited" utilizing these therapies, works much better and faster than only talking. This is my experience, and the reason why I specialize in these deeper, more sub conscious therapies.

What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?

While I need to collect some assessment (history) information, I like to get started and offer you something useful in the first session. Bilateral techniques to begin using, to process and digest stress and shift into a different feeling, to improve sleep and distract from thoughts.

Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.

I have always been told that I have great intuition utilizing these therapies, and I agree. I can sense which one to use and when. Always communicating with you, as to your comfort level with modalities, I utilize a custom made "menu" that works for you. The other piece that works well, is to teach you how to keep this going at home &/or at work. It takes a complete rewiring or habit change, and my clients report it's so much easier to transform when one can continue with new awareness and changes at home, with bilateral techniques (easy) to insert throughout the day, as you notice behaviors, thoughts, triggers or cravings that you want to change.
