I’m Victoria, your go-to therapist for all things loss and love—because let’s face it, life can be a wild ride and sometimes we need a co-pilot. Whether you’re dealing with the heartbreak of losing a family member, a beloved pet, or a job that felt like your second home, I’m here to help you navigate grief with a blend of compassion and a dash of humor. 
 
In terms of finding and living in love, I thrive on supporting individuals, couples, and groups diving into the world of dating, ethical nonmonogamy, and amicable separation. Love isn’t one-size-fits-all, and I’m here to help your heart remain open and your communication stay clear.
 
Finally, I also provide heartfelt support for caregivers and loved ones in their final chapter, because let’s be real—dying well isn’t something we talk about, so let’s figure it out together! Whether you’re looking to build lasting memories, leave your legacy, or plan for the transition, I’ll be here every step of the way.
 
My goal? To create a space where tears and belly laughs coexist, often within the same session. As a person-centered clinician, my approach is warm and inviting, and through the therapeutic process I will meet you exactly where you’re at. All you have to do? Join me on the world’s comfiest couch. I look forward to healing with you!

I am a healer and I am passionate about using my skill set to create safer spaces for people to be themselves as they grow and learn. Many of the things we work on together are how to set boundaries, stay centered and grounded in their body, release past traumas so toxic patterns no longer repeat, connect with their intuition, learn to trust themselves, release stress, find balance and create a life they love. I use many tools such as Reiki energywork , Tarot & Oracle reading, runes, past life regression, Akashic record processing, and my gentle horse assistant to meet my clients where they are.

I specialize in connecting body and energy systems for balance and growth after trauma – helping to release the emotions, pain, and memories from past traumas that are stuck in the body and mind. My focus is on growth after experiencing too much, too fast, or too soon in life. When you’re feeling flooded and overwhelmed by things I’m the person you come to for support and clarity!
Having experienced significant trauma in my own life I have used all of these tools myself in my own healing journey. I have worked through cPTSD and panic attacks, and many seasons of anxiety and depression along the way but I’ve been able to stop the panic attacks using Reiki and Past Life work. I have spent many years training, learning, and practicing to hone these skills and share them with others. I am honored to walk beside you in your own journey and support you.

Psychology Today Profile
I am a Resident in Counseling with experience in working with a wide range of mental health issues, including, Depression Anxiety, Trauma, and Neurodiversity. I am especially interested in working with individuals in transition points in their lives. These transitions can be in many forms, physical, emotional, career, relational, familial, identity or spiritual. I am an LGBTQ+ ally, kink ally and poly ally. In my career I have worked in crisis counseling, and I am familiar with a variety of mental health issues. I have experience with depression, anxiety, ADHD, phobias, and OCD. I take a holistic and trauma informed care approach. I may pull from many areas of my client’s life experience to guide their personal development. Narrative, metaphor, leisure activities may all be incorporated into my sessions.
 
On a more personal note, counseling is my second act. I was a stay- at -home mother for two amazing people, one of whom has disabilities. I also divorced after a decades long marriage and have seized this opportunity to delve deeper into my own self development. I became employed full time, continued my education, ran some incredible races, rediscovered dating and found a challenging and rewarding new path. I look forward to being a resource to my clients as they negotiate the challenges that they are experiencing. Lastly, I do not have a second language, but I am quite familiar with Simlish.

“Life is tough. But does it ever feel like it’s tougher for you than for everyone else?  Do you feel anxious, depressed, isolated, or like you don’t fit in? Are you struggling with life transitions or a lack of direction? Does it seem like you missed the part where other folks learned how to “be a person,” and you’re just sort of winging it? 

I’m Jamie, and I’m passionate about helping people move towards the life they want. While I don’t have the secret manual that makes it all easy, I work with fellow neurodivergent and queer folx to help find the things that work for them and release the things that may be weighing them down.

I like to say I’m “a therapist for the weird kid,” whether that’s the kid who’s all grown up or still figuring things out. I’m warm, compassionate, and sometimes silly.  If you’ve ever felt like the odd one out, I’m here to offer a space where you can explore who you really are without judgment.

In my sessions, we’ll work on balancing emotional processing with building coping skills. Together, we’ll nurture your authentic self by exploring your needs, recognizing your strengths, and moving towards clarity. Therapy isn’t one-size-fits-all, especially for people whose lives color outside the lines, so I draw from different approaches to find what works best for you. These often include Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Compassion-Focused Therapy, and Strengths-Based Therapy. 

Outside work, you might catch me dancing (one of my preferred stims), playing Dungeons and Dragons, or singing weird little songs to my cats. I’m excited to meet you and help you create a life that feels right for you, one step at a time.”

Metaphysical: Reiki

I am a Resident in Counseling with a broad range of experience working with many mental health difficulties. I began as a research assistant at VCU and worked my way to Psychometrist at the Veterans Affairs in Richmond, VA. This experience led to getting my Masters in Clinical Mental Health Counseling, specializing in Military and Veteran mental health. I was trained in Reiki and provide metaphysical services as well.

My approach to counseling is to help guide people into a further understanding of their mind, body, soul, and spirit. With curious exploration, I aim to keep an open mind for listening to the client’s whole story to get a holistic understanding of someone’s well-being. I strive to be a gentle presence in the room and provide stability for clients. During sessions, I encourage folx to reflect upon their life story as if it were reading their own autobiography. Healing from emotional hardships and gaining connection back to our bodies needs proper support. In session, we can take an in-depth into those life experiences that have created a block between mind, body, and soul. I enjoy working with folx trying to understand themselves and former experiences on a deeper level. While our past does not define us, sometimes those past events can create further difficulties in how we walk through life. My approach is to guide those sitting across from me to reflect on their inner and outer life and encourage advocacy for their own voice.
