Curious about working together?

The best way to get a sense of whether this space feels right for you is through a conversation. I offer a free 15-minute phone call, a chance for you to ask questions, share a little about what’s bringing you to therapy, and get a feel for how I work.

I offer both short- and long-term therapy, with a focus on creating meaningful, lasting change. Sliding scale rates and a limited number of low-cost spaces are available, depending on need and availability.

If you’d like to connect, I’d love to hear from you.

Hey! I’m Victoria.

Integrative Creative Therapist (MÍø±¬ÃÅ)

At the heart of my work is a commitment to relational, creative, and socially conscious therapy. Rooted in anti-oppressive practice, care and connection, my approach is guided by a strong commitment to inclusivity and ethical integrity.

We will work integratively drawing from a wide range of psychotherapeutic theories and creative methods to meet you where you are and support your unique goals. Whether you're navigating a specific issue or seeking deeper personal growth our work will focus on increasing self-awareness, emotional resilience and meaningful change.

I hold space for the emotional, cultural and systemic aspects of your life - honouring your identity, values and the wisdom you already carry. Together, we’ll explore what healing looks like for you and how to create more connection and possibility in your life.

This might mean understanding yourself more deeply, processing painful emotions, learning to set boundaries, or moving away from survival patterns like people-pleasing or perfectionism. You may simply be longing for rest or a space to be heard without judgement.

However you come, you are so welcome here.

My practice is built on a set of professional values and commitments:

Relationality & Honesty

At its core, my work is relational, supporting you to build confidence in your communication and interpersonal skills with a focus on deepening your relationship with yourself and others.

Anti-Oppressive & Trauma-Informed Practice

Our mental health does not exist in a vacuum. I’m deeply committed to anti-oppressive, decolonial and trauma-informed practices that recognise how systemic forces such as capitalism, racism, ableism and transphobia shape our wellbeing.

This means:

• Acknowledging the broader contexts that affect your mental health
• Exploring internalised beliefs shaped by these systems
• Supporting new ways of being beyond survival mode, pressure, or perfectionism

Inclusive and Identity-Affirming

I offer neuro-inclusive, LGBTQ+ affirming, trans-expansive, culturally inclusive and non-ableist care. Together we name harm and make room for resistance, care, and restoration.

Creative and Expressive

We will invite imagination and playfulness into the process of healing while centering your unique experience. Sometimes words aren’t enough so we may use creative practices to explore your inner world and express difficult feelings. Sometimes we will use embodiment practices to reconnect with yourself. 

Empowerment & Intuition

Your lived experience and inner wisdom matters. We will foster your empowerment outside of the sessions by building confidence, deepening self-trust, and accessing personal and ancestral resources. We may also draw on folklore and the deep well of intuitive knowledge - honouring what lives beyond logic.

Community & Collective Care

Trauma can be both deeply personal and embedded in social and communal ecosystems. We will explore your connection to community, shared experience and the power of being part of something larger than ourselves.

You may not know exactly what you’re looking for yet, and that’s ok. Therapy doesn’t require you to have the answers before you begin. What matters is that something doesn’t feel quite right and you’re curious about how things could be different.

You may be feeling:

• Emotionally overwhelmed, anxious or burnt out
• Disconnected from yourself or others
• Stuck in patterns that no longer serve you
• Grieving a loss, relationship or life transition
• Struggling with shame, low self-worth or self-doubt
• Navigating identity, systemic harm or marginalisation

Our work together may involve:

• Clarifying what you want to change, shift or explore
• Gaining insight into emotional patterns and relational dynamics
• Developing more supportive coping strategies and emotional tools
• Building self-trust, confidence and relational skills
• Exploring identity, culture and belonging
• Connecting in with your creative process and embodiment practices (whatever that means to you)
• Processing trauma in a way that’s attuned, contained and compassionate
• Reclaiming parts of yourself shaped by survival, silence or shame

In our first session, you can expect:

• A calm, confidential space to share what’s bringing you here
• Space to explore your hopes, hesitations or uncertainties about therapy
• The chance to ask questions about how I work and what feels supportive to you
• Agreement on next steps including focus, frequency, and practicalities

Whether you’re longing for rest, connection or a deeper relationship with yourself, this can be a space to slow down, get honest and gently explore what healing might look like for you.
