Hi, I’m Victoria

I am an Associate Marriage and Family Therapist (AMFT143625) under the supervision of licensed Psychologist Sahil Sharma, PsyD (PSY33606). My practice is based in the San Francisco Bay Area.

I identify as being a mix of many things more than I identify as being any one thing in particular: multicultural and biracial, with an interdisciplinary education and many interests. My own experience living in the in-between informs how I view clients; your unique, complex identity is one of a kind and more than anyone can see on the surface.

I completed my Master’s Degree in Counseling Psychology at The Wright Institute in Berkeley, CA. My initial training as a psychotherapist has taken place in schools, county assistance programs, and emergency shelters. That informed how I practice placing relationships above all else; genuine connection and care are more powerful than any program or treatment.

I decided to pursue a career in psychotherapy to find something deeper, more meaningful, and more challenging; I wanted to use all the parts of myself. I found all that and more in my work as a therapist. I’m still informed by my first career in design which altered my relationship with art profoundly and is a large part of why I continue to utilize art in a more centered, experiential, and empowered way in my practice.
