Victoria is a Registered Psychotherapist and holds a Master of Arts (MA) concentrating in Psychotherapy from Wilfrid Laurier University. Victoria works from a client-centered and trauma-informed lens, supporting clients struggling with anxiety, depression, grief, trauma, and abuse. Victoria utilizes evidence-based approaches including Cognitive Behaviour therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT), and EMDR (Eye-Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing). Victoria also incorporates Narrative therapy, Mindfulness-based and Self-Compassion based approaches.
Victoria works with adults and youth (16+) on an individual basis. Her goal is to support you in gaining an understanding of how your past experiences impact your present thoughts, feelings, and behaviours, and how to work through those past events, while developing skills to manage current challenges, and move towards your desired future.
Victoria has a passion for working with First Responders and Public Safety Personnel, she understands that the demands of your work are unique and seeking out mental health support is a vulnerable process. You’d rather say you’re “fine” and use humour to get by. Victoria aims to meet you where you’re at while helping you understand the challenges that you are facing with your mental health, build skills to navigate your day to day, and move towards long lasting post-traumatic growth.
