About

Hello, I'm Vitoria (she/her)

I am an Associate Marriage and Family Therapist #146982 practicing in Southern California.

My therapeutic approach is grounded in a place of understanding the deeper reasons behind your feelings and behaviors, often rooted in unresolved experiences and unconscious thoughts. I recognize that we are complex humans who sometimes need a holistic approach, so I take time to consider your work life, cultural beliefs, spiritual beliefs, and sexual identity. My goal in our time together is to create a space where you feel safe and understood, to explore these hidden aspects and patterns that affect your life.

I love my role as a therapist and I am grateful for the opportunity to be part of your journey. When I am not in the office you can find me in nature, drinking a matcha, and connecting with my loved ones.

As a Brazilian is extremely personal and important to me to be able to provide therapy in Portuguese and English. Sim, eu falo português!

Com cuidado (With care), Vitória

Currently working for: Natalie Asawesna, LMFT#98534 and California Center for Psychedelic Therapy

I primarily practice Psychodynamic Therapy. I am trained in Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (MBCBT) Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), and Ketamine-Assisted Therapy (KAP). Additionally, I frequently incorporate art, mindfulness, and somatic exercises into my sessions to enhance the therapeutic process.
