Virginia is a compassionate and skilful guide on the path to inner healing, peace, and self-discovery. She works closely with folks seeking relief from anxiety and depression, past and present trauma, relationship and attachment struggles, parenting and postpartum issues, and those simply yearning for greater emotional and spiritual growth.
With Virginia as your therapist, be prepared to go beyond traditional talk therapy. Virginia skillfully weaves together, Internal Family Systems (IFS), EMDR, mindfulness, and other trauma-informed practices to get to the root causes of emotional and psychological distress.
Virginia values fostering a warm and open environment where people can explore their inner landscapes with trust and ease. She firmly believes in the innate capacity of every person to heal and grow, and supports her clients towards living in greater harmony and ease within themselves, their relationships, and the outside world.

I often use Internal Family Systems (IFS) therapy, EMDR, Gottman couples therapy and somatic therapy in my practice.
