Have you been questioning what to do next? Wondering if it’s even worth it? Searching for hope? 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' !
I'm a seasoned counselor specializing in trauma and ADHD. I have a proven track record in addressing diverse needs like depression, anxiety, trauma, suicidal ideations, relationship issues, behavioral challenges, stress, ADHD, Autism, etc. Let's work together!
Licensed trauma therapist specializing in attachment. With a master's in human development counseling, I use EMDR, Theraplay, and trust-based interventions. Focused on youth, I provide psychoeducation and can integrate faith-based counseling for a holistic approach. Let's build awareness and progress toward your goals. I'm ready to partner with you today!
