Victoria began a career in fashion as an assistant, shopping for and styling celebrities. She later transitioned into the medical field as a practice manager, which ultimately led her to (MFT) Marriage and Family Therapy. She has experience providing services for celebrities as well as politicians. As a Christian, Victoria feels this path was divinely inspired by God.

Victoria holds an advanced diploma in counseling and life coaching from the American Association of Christian Counseling, and for those interested, can offer support from a spiritual or Christian perspective.  She has also earned certifications in health and wellness coaching, cognitive behavioral therapy, Gottman Method Level 1 & Level 2 couples therapy, alcoholism & substance abuse services, neuroplasticity, and Prepare/Enrich relationship assessment.  Research suggests that couples who take the Prepare/Enrich assessment prior to marriage have a 30% lower risk of divorce.
