Hi, I’m Victoria — and welcome to my corner of BetterHelp.
If you’re here, something in your life is asking for attention, support, or change — and I’m really glad you took this step. You don’t have to figure any of this out alone.
A little about me:
I’m a licensed clinical social worker (LMSW) based in Southwest Michigan. I earned my MSW from the University of Michigan, and I’ve spent my career working with people from all walks of life — especially those dealing with depression, anxiety, trauma, identity and self-esteem challenges, family conflict, addiction/recovery, and big life transitions. As a therapist of color and an LGBTQ-identified clinician, I know the value of having a provider who gets it on multiple levels.
My style is pretty straightforward: empowering, honest, relational, and very much tailored to you. Clinically, I blend approaches like CBT, DBT-informed skills, trauma-focused/attachment strategies, mindfulness, solution-focused therapy, internal family systems. You’ll get evidence-based support, but delivered in a way that feels human, grounded, and actually useful in your day-to-day life.
I believe the most important part of therapy is the relationship we build — mutual respect, real connection, and a space where you can show up exactly as you are. If you’re looking for a therapist who is direct but compassionate, warm with a side of sass, and deeply invested in your growth, we’ll probably be a great fit.
Reaching out can be uncomfortable, but it’s also powerful. This is you choosing yourself — your healing, your clarity, your peace. I’m here to walk that path with you, help you recognize your strengths, and support you as you move toward the life you want.

I had a great experience. She helped me to put tools and practices into place that I could utilize on my own.

Really grateful for Victoria. The app can drive me zonkers and seems to be glitchy on the provider's end as well but it's worth it to work with her :).
