Holistic Jungian therapist specializing in trauma and relationships
Hi, I’m Dr. V.! As a nationally board-certified and licensed therapist in Florida, I bring 17 years of dedicated experience supporting individuals through complex emotional landscapes. My practice centers around creating flexible, compassionate, and affirming spaces for clients navigating diverse challenges—from various mental health disorders to harm reduction and interpersonal healing.
Through a client-centered lens, I specialize in addressing a wide range of experiences, with particular expertise in trauma recovery, complicated relationship dynamics, substance misuse, and life transitions. I’m committed to supporting adolescents, adults, and couples with personalized treatment plans infusing evidence-based techniques, such as DBT, ACT, CBT, and Mindfulness-Based Therapy with expressive and integrative approaches, including Narrative and Existential Therapies.
My therapeutic work embraces multicultural perspectives and creates inclusive environments for those exploring aspects of sexual well-being and confronting unique identity challenges. By creating a non-judgmental and empathetic therapeutic relationship, I strive to help clients develop meaningful strategies for self-understanding, emotional resilience, and positive change.
I believe in empowering clients to discover their inherent strengths, process difficult emotions, and cultivate authentic connections—both with themselves and others. Together, we’ll explore your experiences with curiosity and care—and hopefully share a laugh or two along the way!

Many people wonder whether remote therapy can truly help. For a range of common concerns – such as stress, anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties, and life transitions – online therapy has been found to be comparably effective to in-person treatment for most clients.
A primary benefit is greater flexibility. Individuals can choose the format that best fits their needs and routine, including video sessions, phone conversations, live chat, or in-app messaging – which can make attending appointments easier.
Licensed professionals deliver care through these different formats, and if a particular therapeutic match does not feel right, clients have the option to switch to a different therapist. Online therapy offers an adaptable way to access skilled support while balancing other life demands.
