Bio
   Figuring out life is hard enough without trying to do it the way everyone else thinks you should. Your life doesn't have to look like anyone else's to be meaningful. Therapy is a space to explore what matters to you, challenge the expectations that don't serve you, and figure out what works for you so you can build a life that feels right for you.
   Hi, I'm Victoria! I'm passionate about helping people better understand themselves, make sense of their experiences, and find ways to navigate life that feel authentic to who they are. I especially enjoy working with neurodivergent folks and people looking for a space where they can talk openly about the things they might not feel comfortable sharing elsewhere.
My approach to therapy is collaborative, individualized, and down-to-earth. I want you to feel comfortable showing up as yourself, without worrying about being judged or having to filter what you say. Our sessions might involve laughing, venting, swearing, asking a million questions, or exploring something that feels difficult to put into words. I'll listen, help you connect the dots, and gently challenge you when I think there's something worth exploring. There's room for all of it here.
I also believe meaningful progress involves more than focusing on what's bringing you to therapy. Our experiences, relationships, and circumstances all shape how we see ourselves and move through the world. Together, we'll look at the bigger picture, recognize patterns, and build on the strengths you already have. I'll celebrate your wins with you, including the ones that might seem small or easy to overlook. And while growth sometimes means getting uncomfortable, not every session needs to involve digging into something difficult. Sometimes the work is about finding stability, understanding what's happening right now, or simply giving yourself space to breathe.
As someone with ADHD who is navigating my own journey of growth and self-understanding, I'm particularly passionate about helping neurodivergent people challenge the expectations that leave them feeling like they're doing life wrong. Rather than trying to fit yourself into a mold that was never designed for you, we'll explore how your brain works, what gets in your way, and what helps you thrive. My goal is to help you develop a better understanding of yourself and find approaches that fit your needs, values, and life.
Outside of work, you'll probably find me at a metalcore show (Sleep Token, Beartooth, Dayseeker, and The Plot in You are some favorites, so let me know if you've seen any of them!), thrifting, or exploring somewhere new with a fun bevvy in hand. I'm drawn to all things horror, gothic, and a little weird, and I'm almost always looking for inspiration for my next tattoo. But let's be real, I'm usually just cleaning the mess from my latest arts and crafts project.
