Great to meet you!

Welcome! I'm excited to connect with you on your mental health journey.

Hi my name is Victor and as a Doctorally-prepared Psychiatric-Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (DNP, PMHNP), I believe prioritizing mental health is key to happiness and stability in life. Seeking help can be one of the hardest parts, so congratulations on taking that step! I've worked with families and children across various inpatient and outpatient settings, and I'm passionate about treating ADHD, depression, anxiety, OCD, and other mental health concerns using holistic and integrative approaches. My goal is to create personalized treatment plans with you that align with your unique values and goals, because I believe the best care happens when we work together as partners in your healing journey.

My approach to therapy

Everyone has a unique story and deserves an individualized approach to care. Once we decide to work together, we'll act as partners in your therapeutic journey, combining traditional psychiatric care with integrative wellness strategies that honor the whole person, not just symptoms. It's important to me that we communicate openly and you feel respected in our relationship as we create treatment goals that truly align with your values and lifestyle. I'll be there to listen to you, collaborate with you on holistic approaches to healing, and support you every step of the way as we work together.

What you can expect from me

I always start with an introductory session, where you'll have the opportunity to share your story and what you hope to achieve through our work together. We'll collaborate to understand your unique needs and create treatment goals that feel right for you! I strive to create a warm, welcoming environment that allows you to feel comfortable sharing and being vulnerable, while also feeling secure and supported. From there, we'll work together in the sessions that follow using holistic approaches tailored to your individual journey, making your wellness goals a reality step by step.
