Helping you learn to
trust your wings.
Psychotherapy for women in search of their voice.
You know something’s off.
You can feel it in your body, in your gut, in that quiet little voice you keep silencing. You know you need to say something. You know that if your loved one were in this exact situation, you’d be cheering them on to say what they need, what they want, what feels non-negotiable. But the words never get said. You can feel the lump in your throat where all the words come to a screeching halt, like traffic piled up during rush hour. Saying the truth feels impossible…because of the feared consequences: conflict, hurt feelings, tension, abandonment, judgment. Or maybe you don’t even KNOW what you want to say…just that something is very very wrong.
That’s where I come in.
I’m Vicky.
I help women like you—smart, intuitive, deeply feeling women—who are at a crossroads. Women who know something has to change but are stuck on the words. Because some of the most powerful words are also the hardest to say: NO — I can't. I don't want to. Not anymore. I’m not okay — I want. I need. I feel like I'm disappearing. I am okay — I’m not broken. I’m not lazy. I’m not too much or not enough. STFU — to the noise from your partner, your mother, your best friend, loved ones who “mean well” but aren’t listening. This isn’t just about learning to speak. It’s about reclaiming the space your voice was always meant to fill.
As a clinical psychologist and EMDR-certified therapist, I'm here to help you SAY THE DAMN THING! Rooted in cultural humility and shaped by my own journey as a woman of color and child of immigrants, my practice honors the complex identities and transitions we all navigate. I am committed to providing a trauma-informed and affirming space where you can get in touch with what is true for you. Like the raven—adaptable enough to thrive everywhere from the Arctic tundra to the deserts of the American Southwest—I support my clients in placing the past where it belongs and soaring forward with confidence and poise.
A clinical focus born of lived experience.
I believe therapy is most powerful when it’s personal, which is why I specialize in supporting women with many of the challenges I’ve faced and grown through myself.

Cultural Adjustment
As the child of immigrants, I understand how hard it can be to navigate two worlds at once. Therapy can provide space to process the stress of acculturation and build a sense of belonging on your own terms.

Systemic Oppression
For women and women of color, the weight of being unseen or misunderstood can be exhausting. I offer a space where your full identity is honored, validated, and reframed from a source of distress to one of empowerment.

Relationship Dissatisfaction
When connections feel one-sided or unfulfilling, they can leave us depleted. Therapy can help you identify patterns, restore balance, and create healthier ways of relating.

Work-Related Stress
High achievers and perfectionists often feel like they’re running on empty. I work with clients to set limits, reduce burnout, and redefine success in more sustainable ways.

Self-Esteem
Struggling with self-worth can be dispiriting and isolating. Therapy creates space to strengthen your voice, set good boundaries, assert needs, and embrace who you are with confidence.

Life Transitions
Big decisions and shifts—choosing whether or not to have children, relocating, or committing to a path that promises a greater sense of meaning—can stir up lots of turbulent emotions. I help clients navigate these crossroads with clarity and purpose.
