(She/Her/Hers)
Vic is a DBT-Linehan Board of Certification, Certified Clinician and has many years of experience providing full protocol DBT and DBT-Prolonged Exposure.
She currently focuses on treating Borderline Personality Disorder and Post Truamatic Stress Disorder. Additionally, her original training was in Feminist Empowerment Therapy and she has a special interest in working with survivors of domestic violence and gender-based violence.

One of her greatest passions is empowering her clients to reach their goals and live the life they’ve always desired.

Outside of the DBT world, Vic spends her time hiking with her dog Arty, writing, listening to music and watching Big Wave surf videos.
