Nice to Meet You. Welcome!
I’m Virginia—a life enhancer, story holder, and connector.
You know your life better than anyone else, and you deserve to do more than just get by—you deserve to thrive.
I know that reaching out for help can feel like a big deal. That’s why I’m here to make sure you feel truly seen and understood from our very first session. My approach is all about empathy and real-world results. I use proven methods, but I never forget that you’re a unique person with your own story.
How I Can Help
I'm passionate about giving you actual tools you can use to make life feel more meaningful. We’ll work together as a team to help you feel more grounded and in control.
- For Individuals: If you're feeling weighed down by the past, stuck in your thoughts, or just plain overwhelmed, we’ll use a mix of "person-centered" and "cognitive-behavioral" therapies to find your way forward.
- For Couples: Using the Gottman Method (I’ve completed Level 1 training!), I help partners actually hear each other again. We’ll work on communicating what you really need and getting back on the same page.
- For Trauma: I’m deeply interested in how our brains handle stress. I use neurocounseling techniques and interventions to help lessen the impact of both old and new traumas, helping you start a newer chapter in your life
A Little About Me
I’ve worn a lot of hats—psychotherapist, entrepreneur, and business owner—which helps me see the big picture. I am a Professional Counselor Associate with degrees from both Oregon State University (Master of Counseling) and the University of Oregon (Master of Science). Basically, I love learning and am always looking for new ways to better support my clients.
When I’m not in the office, you can usually find me at the gym, practicing a new spoken language, or probably over-spoiling my furbabies.
I’d be honored to walk alongside you. Ready to get started?
