No one is born a parent. Parenting, and especially co-parenting, can be even more challenging when partners disagree, or when larger issues about the marriage or a divorce arise. I help parents understand how to be the best mothers and fathers they can be for their children, and how to work together to support them even under difficult circumstances. I also work directly with couples and families experiencing conflict (together or as individuals), and can provide divorce and family mediation when needed.

Hi I’m Victoria! I’m so glad you’re here! I hope this is the first step in your personal growth journey. Mental Health is such an important part of our lives, and I feel it is the ultimate “self care” as it often leads to more insight, self awareness, and positive changes. The goal is to live with more intention and kindness towards others and most importantly ourselves. There are many reasons why someone may be interested in therapy - all of them are valid.

My primary area of practice is neuropsychological testing. I work with adolescents and adults to help them better understand their emotional, cognitive, and social strengths as well as areas of growth. Using objective tests, interviews, collaboration with providers, as well as input from family and schools, if applicable, I try to help patients better understand their unique needs. My goal is to help each person in the way that best suits them. Sometimes this is through suggesting accommodations at work or school, by advising different treatments, connecting them with resources, or suggestions for self-care.

I believe that therapy is most effective when there is a warm, supportive relationship between the therapist and child or teen. Does your child suffer from anxiety, trouble getting along with peers, depression, or behavioral problems? Therapy can help you child strengthen and learn new skills to address these concerns.
