Victoria is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in the state of Missouri and Kansas. She has over a decade of experience in community mental health, hospital social work and leading an evidence based dual diagnosis substance treatment program for adults. Victoria is passionate about systematic change for our community, health system, and access to mental health treatment.
Victoria sees her role as a therapist as being a co-investigator with the individuals she works with. She believes strongly in the power of humor and the therapeutic relationship. Together, you will explore how difficult experiences have impacted who you are and work towards shedding the effects of these events that still interrupt your life today. The goal of this process is to seek out new understanding and answers to feelings of grief and loss, anxiety, shame, or the overall feeling being stuck/burnt-out. Victoria brings in knowledge and expertise through the utilization of person-centered and strength-based approach along with CBT and motivational interviewing techniques. She relies heavily on your own perspective, intuition, and insight in this process.
