While I am extensively trained in trauma and abuse, our counseling center opens our doors to men, women, and children of all ages who are dealing with, a variety of concerns.
At this time I am not taking new clients: Updated March 20, 2024. At Victor's Crown, many of our client's come to us because they are experiencing difficulty with anxiety, not interested in the things they use to be, feeling like their marriage is about to collapse under the weight of problems or have struggled for years with the secrets of some type of abuse. We offer solutions to these problems. Our ideal clients are individuals who recognize that there are issues in their lives that are creating difficulties for them and are willing to fully participate in the counseling process to achieve the life changes they desire.

Have you ever thought, "How did I end up here?" Life has a way of giving us challenges we never could have imagined. Life's hard! You may feel you have been pushed past your breaking point, BUT there's good news... You're NOT broken, NOT worthless, and definitely NOT alone. What if I told you the strength to take control of this challenge is already inside you? You've found my profile, which says that you've already done something very brave. You've said, 'I have bigger plans for my life than this', and that is impressive.

Whether you are a child, teen, or adult your feelings and voice matter.
Are you suffering in silence? People see your successes but do not understand the questions, doubts, pressure, pain, and internal turmoil that you experience. Does your circle assume you are ok? You have been identified as “the strong one” … there is no need to check, right? Wrong! Do you fear being vulnerable with others? Are you suppressing your emotions? It may seem too painful to imagine experiencing the intensity of your feelings or maybe you just do not have the language to express them. Cue up “emotional rollercoaster”. Are you envisioning a life of wholeness, authenticity, fulfillment, and emotional freedom?
