Accepting New Patients in South Carolina
“I believe that you have the ability to heal and transform when you do the difficult work of diving into the root cause. It’s my desire to lead you to your bright future — it’s closer than you think.”
Hi, I'm Victoria, and I'm an integrative psychiatric nurse practitioner who helps adults struggling with anxiety, depression, PTSD, and childhood-attachment wounds to improve their quality of life by combining medication management with integrative therapies, including specialized trauma healing and nutritional support.
My journey to integrative psychiatry has been deeply personal. After spending over three decades in healthcare and witnessing both the strengths and limitations of conventional treatments, I experienced a profound shift in my perspective through my own family's health challenges.
When my daughter faced a serious health crisis, I learned firsthand the importance of combining evidence-based medicine with integrative approaches and honoring each person's unique healing journey.
This experience, along with witnessing the impact of unresolved trauma and attachment wounds in my practice, led me to pursue advanced training in trauma healing techniques and integrative psychiatry.
Today, I bring this comprehensive approach to my patients, combining traditional psychiatric care with evidence-based integrative therapies, while creating a warm, non-judgmental space where healing can occur. My practice is grounded in the understanding that true healing addresses not just symptoms, but the whole person - mind, body, and spirit.

Areas of Focus
-
Do you:
Feel overwhelmed by simple daily tasks that everyone else seems to handle effortlessly?
Have trouble focusing at work, with your mind either racing with worries or feeling foggy?
Find yourself withdrawing from friends & family, then feeling guilty and lonely for pulling away?
Constantly second-guess decisions & replay conversations in your head, wondering if you said or did the wrong thing?
Find it hard to feel joy or motivation?
Struggle with persistent relationship issues?
Many of my patients come to me feeling hopeless after trying multiple treatments without understanding the root cause of their struggles.
Through an integrative approach that addresses both mind and body, we can work together to uncover and heal these underlying causes.
-
Do you:
Have intense emotional reactions to seemingly minor triggers, then feel ashamed of your "overreaction"?
Experience sudden waves of anxiety, anger, or sadness that seem to come out of nowhere?
Struggle to form close relationships because trusting others feels impossible, yet desperately wanting deep connections?
Exhaust yourself trying to maintain perfect control of your environment and relationships because feeling out of control is terrifying?
Feel disconnected from your body, like you're watching life happen from behind a glass wall
Have missing chunks of your childhood memories, or have memories that feel foggy and uncertain?
Many trauma survivors have tried traditional therapy but still feel disconnected from themselves and others.
Through specialized trauma healing techniques like DNMS, we can work together to process past experiences and create new patterns of safety and connection in your life.

Do you:
Feel disconnected from your partner despite living in the same house, with intimacy becoming increasingly difficult?
Battle brain fog and forgetfulness that's affecting your work performance, making you question your competence?
Experience unpredictable emotional reactions that don't match the "real you," leaving you feeling out of control?

These changes aren't just "in your head" - they're real, and they're treatable.

Major life changes can shake our foundation, but they also offer opportunities for growth and transformation.
