My specialties are working with clients who may be suffering from traumatic incidents, substance abuse, various forms of anxiety (PTSD, stress disorders), depression, self-esteem, and gender identity.
Making the decision to receive any form of mental health counseling can be taxing, however, the results are often positive and rewarding. Learning to face your fears in a healthy and appropriate manner is a sign of growth and maturity. It is not an easy task. You will cry, laugh, and maybe feel a little uncomfortable at times. This is just the therapeutic process working to make you emotionally stronger.
*Please note that my preference for treatment sessions are individual and group therapy. However, I do provide a limited number of couples or family therapy sessions for special circumstances.

You don’t have to face this journey alone. Whether you’re struggling with anxiety, depression, trauma, or just the challenges of everyday life, I’m here to support you. Life can feel overwhelming at times, but you deserve a compassionate and safe space where you can explore your emotions and experiences. I’m here to listen without judgment, helping you tap into your inner strength and discover your core values. Together, we’ll work towards healing emotional wounds, finding clarity, and building resilience for whatever lies ahead. In this space, you can process your feelings, find calm amid the chaos, and gain a deeper understanding of who you are and your story.
My approach centers around helping clients make sense of their unique experiences. Together, we’ll cultivate a supportive, judgment-free environment where you feel truly seen and heard. Through active listening and reflecting on your experiences, we can identify patterns that may have held you back. With gentle guidance, I’ll help you empower yourself to shape the future you desire.
Are you ready to embark on a journey of self-discovery and growth? Let’s explore your story, uncover your strengths, and build resilience together. Taking the first step can be challenging, but sharing your story with a trained counselor can offer transformative insight, leading you toward lasting peace and fulfillment. I’d be honored to walk alongside you on this path.

Hello, I am Viktoria.
Life doesn't always go as planned, and transitions, illness, and trauma are rarely anticipated. Are you struggling with self-defeating patterns that are causing depression, anxiety, and /or a feeling of being stuck? Do you want to make changes in your personal and professional life? Do you have challenges in your relationship? Individuals have unique and individual needs, which should be recognized. Most of the time, you will be able to handle the situation with the help of your friends and family or on your own.
There are times when you might need professional guidance and support to learn specific techniques to help you manage your thoughts and feelings. An important aspect of therapy is the opportunity to explore feelings of loneliness, anxiety, depression, grief, and shame, and to begin the process of creating positive and lasting changes. This takes place in a non-judgmental, therapeutic relationship based on empathy, trust, safety, and compassion. My style is calm, warm, and relaxed, and I believe in creating a safe environment for you in which compassion, support, and humor can flourish.
Together, we can gain insight and understanding of the relationships between emotions, core beliefs and behaviors in order to find solutions to the problems you are facing.

Hi, I am so glad you have decided to take a step in healing from your past.
I specialize in working with people who grew up in families where there was some type of instability or turmoil. This could have been from addiction, mental health, abuse, neglect, anger, poverty, foster care placement, religious trauma or anything that caused some form of trauma. Oftentimes times those who grew up in this type of situation feel responsible for it or that somehow they should have fixed it.
