Hello, I’m Victoria.

I’m a Somatic Psychotherapist with twenty-five years of experience supporting women through trauma, transition, and transformation.

For years, I thought I might need to step outside the clinical world to include the holistic and spiritual practices that shaped my own healing. Eventually, I realized the expansion I needed wasn’t about leaving my profession—it was about expanding within it.

As more people seek body–mind–spirit approaches, I’ve learned to ethically weave somatic and holistic methods into therapy, in service of each client’s goals and comfort.

Holistic work doesn’t replace therapy—it deepens it. When the nervous system, body, and spirit are included, change isn’t just understood; it’s experienced.

I was raised in Kansas City and have always been drawn to soulful questions about how we heal and become who we are.

In my twenties I moved to California—close to the ocean, redwoods, and mountains—where I married, became a mother, and experienced a profound awakening. I remembered my original calling to be a therapist, one I had known since ninth grade but buried under practicality and doubt.

After returning to Kansas City and completing my graduate degree in 2000, I devoted my career to helping people find inner connection, resolve trauma, and build resilience. Over the years, I’ve walked through many portals—divorce, remarriage, illness, and midlife transitions—all of which have deepened my understanding of love, safety, and healing.

I’ve learned that healing is not a destination; it’s a lifelong unfolding. We are not meant to do it alone.

As women, our passages—through motherhood, perimenopause, and beyond—are meant to be witnessed and supported. Yet our culture often leaves us feeling like we should manage everything ourselves. I want women to know: there’s an easier way.

My own menopause journey became a profound teacher, revealing that this passage is not only biological but deeply spiritual. I keep evolving, right alongside the women I support.

We don’t rush.

Transformation arises naturally as your nervous system gains capacity to receive it.

Our work centers your body’s wisdom and honors your pace. We build capacity gently and intentionally, creating the conditions for real, embodied change.

Between my sessions, I pause to re-center—lighting palo santo, offering gratitude for the session that just ended, and preparing to meet the next soul with presence and care. I suggest practices and things to do between your therapy sessions too,  to support your well being and gentle movement towards your goals. 

All that has come before—my training, experience, and life passages—has shaped a practice that values quality of presence over quantity of clients.

I would be honored to walk with you on your journey toward deeper connection, healing, and wholeness.
