Virginia is currently completing her master’s degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling at Rocky Mountain University of Health Professions. With a background in advocacy and years of experience supporting survivors of trauma, she brings a unique blend of creativity, nonjudgmental presence, and deep respect for each individual’s lived experience to her counseling work. She is a nationally certified victim advocate through NOVA’s National Advocate Credentialing Program.
Virginia’s person-centered therapeutic style is grounded in existential and narrative therapy, offering clients a warm, collaborative space to explore their identity, story, and meaning. Her integrative approach weaves in somatic awareness, mindfulness, Sandtray, polyvagal principles, internal family systems (IFS), Safe and Sound Protocol (SSP), and trauma-informed care. She tailors each session to the client’s needs and pace with space for both deep reflection and growth. She works with individuals navigating grief and loss, anxiety, depression, identity questions, trauma, relationship and communication issues, life transitions, and dissociative concerns such as DID. She also has experience supporting neurodiverse clients (including ADHD and Autism Spectrum Disorder) and those impacted by shame, spiritual conflict, and abuse.
With a background in public safety and advocacy, she is passionate about supporting medical personnel, first responders, veterans, and those with aviation backgrounds, understanding the unique toll these roles can take on mental health. Virginia is also an affirming provider for LGBTQ+ clients, offering a space where all identities are respected and valued.
Virginia believes healing begins with being seen and heard. She walks alongside her clients as they reconnect with their sense of self, reclaim their voice, and move toward a life rooted in meaning, purpose, and authenticity. She often says, "You are not who others say you are. You are who you choose to be.
