Victoria is a native Seattleite who earned her bachelor’s in Chemistry, Biology, and Neuroscience from the University of Washington (Go Dawgs!). She subsequently attended 2 years of medical school in Texas. This experience highlighted the intersection of medical and emotional care as well as the inability to provide the breadth of care she desires. Victoria subsequently earned a master’s in clinical psychology. She is currently in the third year of her doctoral program in clinical psychology. She provides psychotherapy and assessment services to individuals under the supervision of Dr. Bonner Dobbs, a licensed clinical psychologist.

Victoria’s laid back and approachable style pulls from wanting to understand the whole person medically, spiritually, and psychologically, through a psychoanalytic and neurobiological lens. Psychoanalytic psychotherapy is a process that helps us focus on the unconscious, in addition to the conscious mind. She builds a healthy therapeutic alliance with her clients to help them understand their own relationships. She strives to create a space where clients can build skills they need to manage and cope with the unavoidable discomfort that comes with growth.

Victoria works with clients who want to prosper in life but are being held back by previous trauma or other past/present life events. This generally presents as issues related to anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship building, self-awareness and well-being.
