Great to meet you!

Hello! My name is Victoria and I'm a bi-lingual therapist. I am a military spouse of over a decade, love dogs, nature, and writing children’s books—reminders that joy and playfulness matter just as much as healing. As an IFS-trained therapist (Internal Family Systems), I help you understand your inner world—your protectors, your wounded parts, and your wise essence. Together, we help those parts soften so you can lead your life with clarity, confidence, and calm.

My approach to therapy

I blend IFS with CBT, EMDR, breathwork, and somatic awareness. I work with depression, anxiety, trauma, relationship challenges, midlife transitions, perimenopause-related mood & energy shifts, self-advocacy struggles, & military life stressors. With 20+ years of teaching Yoga & mindfulness-based techniques, I help you strengthen nervous system regulation and overall well‐being, allowing you to show up more fully in your life and relationships.

What you can expect from me

In your first session, you can expect a safe, non‐judgmental space where we move at your pace, explore your story, clarify your goals, and identify meaningful next steps. We’ll also take time to understand your overall mental health and look at your concerns through a clinical lens, which may include discussing whether a diagnosis is appropriate.
