Thank you for reviewing my profile and considering seeking guidance, to maneuver your way

through the life challenges you are facing. It is of utmost importance that the therapist you

choose to share your concerns with provides a safe and trusting environment that is void of

judgment or negative consequences. If you decide to choose me as your therapist, I can assure

you that I will be respectful of your time and invest my time and expertise, to create a beneficial

partnership, that leads to addressing your concerns and results in improving your life. Below

you will find an overview of my therapeutic experience and approach that I hope will assist you

in making your decision and choice of a therapist.

I am a licensed Master of Social Work in the state of Michigan. I received my degree from the

University of Southern California in 2012. I have been providing individual and couples therapy,

through out patient settings, and through Telecounseling, since 2015. Previous to 2015, I

provided case management services in a senior independent living facility and have extensive

experience with helping seniors access resources to improve and enhance their lifestyle.

My therapeutic style is quite eclectic and includes a variety of modalities to address mental

health challenges such as; anxiety, depression, grief and loss, relationship issues, personality

disorders, phobias, chronic illness, developing skills to improve ways of communicating,

caregiver stress and assisting with coping strategies to reduce life stressors and improve overall

life satisfaction.

Therapeutic Modalities include: Cognitive and Behavioral Therapy, Solution Focused Therapy,

Motivational Interviewing, Grief and Loss, Crisis Intervention and Suicide Prevention, Anger

Management, Conflict Resolution, Interpersonal Psychotherapy, Narrative Therapy, and the use

of Mindfulness, Breath Work and Relaxation Techniques

Sometimes People Need Help…

Changes in life are always occurring but sometimes change can make us feel overwhelmed and

unable to function the way we would like to.

Sometimes change is unexpected and can negatively effect our ability to function in our job,

carry out daily routines or manage our personal affairs.

Sometimes medical challenges with ourselves and/or with others can require unexpected changes

in our lifestyle.

Sometimes conflict with spouses, significant others, family members, friends, or co-workers can

cause unwanted or unmanageable feelings and emotions.

Sometimes life challenges can make us question our self-worth or have a negative impact on

how we feel about life.

Sometimes difficulties in our life contribute to the development of thoughts, behaviors and habits

that are not healthy for us.

Professional help can bring awareness to what is not working in our lives and assist in

developing healthier ways of thinking, doing and behaving.

Sometimes we feel totally alone and just can’t seem to find the answer or solution we need to

feel better on our own…

Sometimes We Just Need Help

Therapy provides hope and can ease the difficulties that often present themselves as we journey

through life. I look forward to partnering with you in that process.

About online counseling

Affordable.
Pay a low flat fee.
Convenient.
Do it at your own time and at your own pace. Communicate whenever you feel it's needed.
Available now.
There is no waiting list and no calls to make. Simply fill out a short questionnaire and send your first message.

Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.

Victoria has been incredibly helpful to me over the years as I've worked through my anxiety and managing life events. I have learned so much and try to practice her tips and tricks on a regular basis. She does a great job encouraging me to think in different ways and brings an honest, logical, but still kind expertise to the table. I'd definitely recommend her to others looking for some support and self improvement!

It is wonderful having a safe place to do this work.

Victoria is very supportive! I’ve had set backs which is Normal. Most therapists have scolded me for “not doing the work.” Not her! She gets the the bottom as to why I had a set back, and had made me hit many of my goals! She even had me cleaning out my spare bedroom!

Victoria is kind, compassionate, empathetic, accommodating, and respectful. We've developed a strong rapport to address previous traumas and the manners in which my daily life is currently impacted, as well as techniques in which I can recognize these habits and how to avoid placing blame on myself. Additionally, as new instances of concern arise, Victoria is willing to address these topics in a professional manner that explains best practices to address presented concerns, but also mitigate potential reoccurrences. I look forward to talking to Victoria every week - even if nothing is particularly troublesome or bothering me. look forward to sharing triumphs, successes, and upcoming plans and aspirations with Victoria.

Victoria has been a godsend for me. She is a great listener, and always is able to provide a different perspective. She doesn’t quickly pass over issues but instead wants to work through them until I feel heard and improved. She is compassionate and caring but still able to provide tough feedback in a profound and empathetic way. Her wise-words and quick wit make therapy enjoyable. I couldn’t recommend her enough.

In three weeks I see so much disgust in who I was. Just starting to actually feel like I am capable of adding something instead of being the reason things end. I believe she and myself we’re destined because everything she heard she can take it and open my eyes to the truth and most important the perception of others towards me. Maybe I can be that person that someone would choose to talk to instead of avoiding. My wife smiles all the time now. I don’t get upset with my dogs barking because they are happy to see me. Overall she is amazing Thankyou and your company for extending me such a lifeline. Happiness is around the corner
