As a therapist, I bring warmth, compassion, and authenticity to every session. Along with my clinical training, my lived experience as a mother, immigrant, and someone who has navigated parenting and divorce allows me to support clients with empathy and understanding. I work with individuals facing relationship challenges, life transitions, ADHD, autism, men's mental health, aging, anxiety, and self-esteem. My approach is trauma-informed, somatic, and collaborative, integrating EMDR with practical strategies to help you heal, strengthen relationships, and create meaningful, lasting change. I provide a neurodivergence-affirming and LGBTQIA+ affirming space where you can feel safe, understood, and supported.
Our first step is getting to know you - understanding what brings you in, discussing your concerns and goals, and creating a plan that best supports your needs.
I approach each session with curiosity, compassion, and genuine respect for your unique experiences. Together, we'll build on your strengths, work through challenges, and create meaningful, lasting change.
I work with young adults, and adults who are feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or ready to make meaningful changes in their lives and relationships. Many of my clients seek support for anxiety, trauma, relationship challenges, self-esteem, life transitions, parenting, and feeling more connected to themselves and others. My approach is tailored to your needs, integrating EMDR with somatic, psychodynamic, relational (RLT), cognitive behavioral (CBT), and talk therapy to support lasting healing and growth.
EMDR helps process and heal difficult memories by using guided eye movements or other bilateral stimulation. In practice, EMDR can be used to reduce the emotional impact of past experiences that control/effect the present.
CBT approach is used to help identify and change negative thought patterns that affect their emotions and behaviors; to develop healthier thinking habits and coping strategies to improve daily lives.
I use the psychodynamic approach to help clients explore how past experiences and unconscious thoughts, influence their current feelings and behaviors. In practice, I guide clients to gain insight into patterns and emotions, which supports deeper self-understanding and lasting change.
I integrate somatic therapy by helping clients tune into bodily sensations, movement, and nervous system responses to gently process emotions and trauma, not just talk about them. My approach is trauma-informed, collaborative, and paced to build safety and self-regulation, using the body as a resource for insight and healing.
I prioritize creating a safe, empathetic, and a non-judgmental space for clients feel fully accepted and understood. I focus on active listening and unconditional positive regard, allowing clients to explore their thoughts and feelings of their own pace. In practice, I use this approach to empower individuals to access the inner resources and move towards person growth and self-actualization.

Victoria is an amazing listener who is able to understand my perspective/others and the challenges of communication encountered. It is always a joy to share my experiences in life with her and find her opinion/ input to be very helpful. 🤍
