Place of refuge and hope for your future.
Who I am
Hi, I'm Victoria – but you can call me Tori! I’m a proud Illinois native, and when I’m not working, you’ll likely find me spending time with my dachshund, Poppy, listening to music, or enjoying time with friends and family. Since 2019, I’ve been honored to serve my community through mental health services. My passion lies in creating a welcoming and safe space where individuals can explore their thoughts and feelings. One of the most rewarding aspects of counseling for me is helping clients experience those 'aha moments' – those moments of growth and clarity.
My Approach
Have you been questioning what to do next? Wondering if it’s even worth it? Searching for hope?
I am EMDR trained and have been trained in other trauma informed approaches. I work with children, adolescents, and young adults, helping them understand their mental health needs and find ways to support their overall wellness. My goal is to provide you and your family with psychoeducation, helping you gain a deeper understanding of any challenges you're facing and the therapeutic approaches we can use to work through them. I draw from several techniques, including EMDR, emotionally focused therapy (EFT), cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), and Theraplay. If it aligns with your values, we can also incorporate faith-based counseling to further support your journey toward mental wellness. I believe that knowledge, understanding, and increased self-awareness are powerful tools, and I’m here to support you as you work towards your personal goals.
