Questions

Why do people come to you?

Clients come to me for many reasons. They may be searching for a greater sense of meaning and purpose in life, and feel a longing to connect with their own spiritual wisdom. They may be struggling with their health, careers, relationships, or emotional wellbeing, and are looking for support in working through these difficulties.

I also work with many people who come to me for support with all stages of the parenting process. From new mothers to parents of adult children, I offer support and guidance towards navigating one of the most important, and potentially transformative, life experiences.

Others come to me while navigating loss, hoping to connect with loved ones in spirit and find their way through grief.

Clients also come to me to learn how to deepen their connection to their own intuition. Intuitive guidance is available to each of us, and the more we learn to decode the language of our souls, the better able we are to navigate the twists and turns of our journeys on earth.

What do you mean by “Intuitive?”

Intuition is the mode by which each of us receive spiritual guidance. It is a direct form of “knowing” that works apart from and differently than our logical, linear minds. Everyone has access to their intuition, but some of us have developed these gifts to a greater degree.

Everyone experiences their intuition differently. For me, my intuitive guidance allows me to read my client’s energy and belief systems that may be getting in the way of their spiritual growth and general sense of wellbeing. I also receive information about my client’s past lives, pre-birth planning (your soul’s plans for your present life), and how specific life struggles may play into your soul’s plan.

As an intuitive medium, I am also able to connect with spirit guides, deceased loved ones, and my client’s highest selves to pass on messages and guidance.

My greatest joy is helping my clients to increase their own intuitive awareness, so that they can connect with this important form of guidance on their own.

What do you mean by “spirit guides?”

Despite how it might sometimes seem, we’re not on our earthly journeys alone. We all have divine guidance, in spirit form, here to support us. They are here to assist in my work as a teacher, healer, and helper. Each of us come into this world with spirit guides that are here to support us on our earthly adventure. Spirit guides may also be individuals whom we have known in this incarnation but have passed on, as well as angels and saints, and other wise and loving beings.

In my work, I don’t channel a single named entity. I work with what I understand as my own soul group. I also work with my clients’ guides, which is often where the most useful information comes from.

This guidance is available to all of us throughout our lives. My work is to connect my clients with this divine source of wisdom and support.

Are you able to connect with my deceased loved ones?

Yes. As a medium I’m able to connect with those who have passed, and this is often a meaningful part of the work. While I find that I am usually able to connect with those you are seeking, there are no guarantees. What I can promise is that the messages are always loving and supportive.

Is this therapy?

No. I offer intuitive guidance. It is not intended to treat any mental health condition, and it is not a replacement for the services of a licensed mental health professional.

I do have a doctorate in psychology and I am a Licensed Professional Counselor, but in this work I don’t diagnose or treat mental health conditions, or use treatment approaches reserved for trained mental health counselors.

Will you predict my future?

Sometimes information about what’s ahead does come through; however, there isn’t one predetermined future to predict. You’re not following a map, you’re creating the path, which makes the useful question less about what will happen and more about your next best step. What I do is closer to a hybrid of coaching and intuitive guidance than fortune telling. I help you find your own answers and create your most rewarding future.

What can I expect from a session?

Every session is different because each individual is unique, and your needs may vary considerably during different periods in your life, and even from one session to the next.

I connect with your higher self, source, and spirit guides, as well as any loved ones who want to come through. I convey the messages in an interactive conversation, mindful of both your questions and the information that wants to be shared. Some of what arrives is about your life’s path. Some are aboutYes experiences that have shaped you, in this life or in previous ones. A session may also include meditation, visualization, or energy work.

The messages are always positive and life-affirming. They will support you in decision making, maintaining optimal health, and living this life to its fullest. They may contain guidance on how to find meaning in and work through your current struggles, and information about important next steps in your life.

Do you do energy work?

I am guided to work with people’s energy when it feels resonant. Everything is energy, not only our physical bodies but our thoughts, our emotions, and our spiritual selves. So when energy work seems useful, I’ll incorporate tools such such as toning, chakra balancing, and remote body work.

Do you work with children?

I enjoy working with children, tweens, and teens. For younger children, I find that in-person sessions are best, to allow for a more interactive and hands-on approach. Phone and video sessions are usually better suited for older children and teens who are more verbally inclined.

I can also support younger clients through intuitive parenting sessions.

How do I set up a session with you?

Book directly on the Book a Session page. You can also book a brief discovery call there if you’d like to connect before scheduling a full session. If you don’t see a time that works for you, you’re welcome to reach out by phone or email. I typically respond within 24 to 48 hours.

Sessions can be by phone, by Zoom, or in person in Del Mar, California.

Do you take insurance?

Intuitive guidance is not considered a mental health service and is not typically covered by health insurance.

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor in the state of Connecticut and offer intuitively guided mental health services only in that state. Those services are often reimbursable by insurance. You can learn more about my work as a Licensed Professional Counselor here.

Can I get a recording of the session?

Yes. I’m glad to record our session over Zoom. Just ask in advance, and I’ll email you the link afterwards. Recordings are available to download for seven days following your scheduled appointment.

Client Love

After years of ‘practicing talk therapy’ I knew personally and professionally that there had to be a simple, more direct way to achieve positive results. Victoria was my first step on this path. With her skills as a therapist and medium we have addressed my issues and found resolution and peace with many of them.

With her guidance and support, I have grown exponentially in honing my own intuitive gifts. I knew I had a gift but didn’t know what to do with it. It was there but it was not purposeful – most of the time I didn’t honor it, saw it as some weird but sometimes useful ‘knowing’. I have learned to recognize my personal gifts and found the courage to search and grow.

Victoria is a multi-faceted therapist, guide. mentor and teacher. I cannot imagine where I would be right now if synchronicity hadn’t brought us together.

Victoria is my go-to person for help in making important decisions. Instead of giving a simple “yes” or “no” answer, she will amazingly and intuitively tap into the energy of the situation and bring up aspects that I have never considered. I love that she has classical, clinical training – and combines it with intuitive insight that you could never get from a book. She is kind and supportive and allows everyone to be exactly where they are.

Victoria made me more aware of my inner core which helped me with my yoga practice and in life. Her kind nature and caring spirit came through in my reading. She is direct and honest but always friendly and supportive.

The sessions definitely helped me become more self-aware and allowed me to reflect on my life and the decisions I have made and will continue to make. I loved that the messages were so positive even though there are obviously things I need to work on!
