Great to meet you!

It takes courage just to start looking for a therapist — and if you're here, you've already taken that first step. The people I work with are often thoughtful, capable adults who also happen to feel overwhelmed, anxious, or stuck in patterns they're ready to shift. Some are carrying the weight of past experiences. Others are navigating relationship challenges, OCD, or a quiet but persistent sense that something feels off. What they share is a desire for real insight, genuine healing, and lasting change — and that's exactly what we work toward together.

My approach to therapy

I'm Vilija — Vi-lee-uh — LMHC, and I support adults through anxiety, trauma, OCD, and relational stress. My approach is integrative and tailored to you, drawing from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), psychodynamic therapy, and trauma-informed care. That means we work on two levels at once — building practical coping tools you can use in daily life while also exploring what's beneath the surface driving the patterns that have been keeping you stuck.

What you can expect from me

Starting therapy isn't easy, especially if you're used to handling everything on your own. But this process can offer something most people aren't used to receiving — real relief, clarity, and a deeper connection to yourself. If you're ready to feel more supported and more like yourself again, I would be honored to walk alongside you. Let's talk.
