Hey, I'm Victor! I am a strength-based, solution-focused clinical social worker, experienced working with children, adolescents, adults, and families. I have worked with diverse populations including people affected by substance use, survivors of domestic violence, children and families involved with the child welfare system (including juvenile justice), adults involved in the criminal justice system, LGBT youth and adults, and unstably housed adults. My work with these different populations included anger management, parenting training, developing cognitive and behavioral skills for depression and anxiety, trauma focused counseling, relapse prevention, and resolving family problems.
Coming from a strengths based perspective, I primarily utilized a solution-focused approach to my work. Talking about the problems can feeling relieving, but I believe focusing on our resiliency and strengths to find solutions to our problems is equally important. I also utilized the cognitive behavioral approach because problems can cause negative thinking and developing adaptive strategies to manage distress.
Entering counseling is not an easy process – I know! But like our physical health, our mental health must be stable if we are to reach self-actualization and our fullest potential. While we do the work necessary for you to grow and heal, I offer a supportive space to you to speak your truth. I prioritize your concerns for each session with a goal of giving you the tools to move forward.

Victor really helped me navigate set of difficult situations during an emotionally trying time, I.e. the pandemic. His demeanor was calming, and he responded to me with empathy, while providing valuable feedback and perspective in a non judgmental manner.
I would highly recommend Victor to anyone seeking a thoughtful mind and a receptive ear.

Victor is wonderful. He has been so respectful and receptive to the aspects of my lifestyle which do not fit the norm. He listens well, asks clarifying questions, and gives ideas of things I can apply daily to help retrain my negative thoughts patterns. I’m excited to continue working with him!

Victor has been great. He’s helped me come up with ways that I can better communicate, given me outside perspective on things, and different approaches/solutions to my problems.
