We all struggle in some way. Reaching out for support from friend(s), family, community, and/or therapist is what we (hopefully) do. That can be among our greatest struggles -- asking for help. Counseling or therapy is one way to get the objective and private support you need. I can assist you in identifying and altering the patterns of thinking, feeling, and behaving that keep you from moving forward in life. Bringing 30+ years of experience in the field of clinical social work, I help my clients through use of an eclectic approach within a cognitive-behavioral framework. The approach involves honest, reflective processing, measurable goal-setting, psychoeducation, and respectful human support. My clients gain understanding of the core brain-outer brain dynamics and how to take control of those through various assignments and exercises which challenge current patterns of thinking and managing emotions such as fear and anger. We discuss and examine behaviors that are counterproductive and no longer useful and work together to develop new, more productive behaviors. I bring extensive experience in diagnosing and treating clients with anxiety disorders (including PTSD), depression, addictions, and relationship problems. Effective counseling and therapy does not have to be overly complicated but should consistently challenge you to reveal yourself and come to answer some of your own questions. As such, I offer my clients insights and information to help them regulate emotion, solve problems, answer their own questions and learn to act through love of self and others. Working with clients is both an opportunity and a privilege for me. I would be happy to chat with you about my counseling approach and how I might help you in your journey so that you can make an informed decision about seeking counseling or therapy.

Victoria is immensely gifted at giving people the space they need to be forthcoming about their lives, concerns, and emotions. She makes it easy to get to the root of issues by allowing patients the time they need to respond and review. I love how she breaks things down in our sessions and really allows me to look at my life from all angles and all new perspectives.
