Is coaching the same as therapy?

No. Coaching is not therapy, and it’s not a replacement for professional mental health care.

Therapy is incredible work — it often focuses on healing past experiences, processing emotional or psychological challenges, and supporting mental health.

Coaching is different. It’s about meeting you exactly where you are, as you are, and helping you move forward with more clarity, choice, and momentum.

Think: future-focused, practical, empowering.

Coaching helps you shift your perspective, get unstuck, and take intentional action toward the life you want.

How many sessions do I need?

That’s entirely up to you.

I see coaching as an outlet you plug into when you know you need a reframe. For some, that means plugging in when something feels heavy or unclear. For others, especially those who benefit from accountability, consistency becomes a powerful support.

I have no attachment to how often you come.
My mission is never to create dependence — it’s to equip you with the skills and tools to create meaningful, lasting change in your own life.

True transformation takes practice. You’ve spent years reinforcing your old habits and thought patterns; shifting them requires new choices, new perspectives, and repetition.

Follow-up sessions help you anchor those new habits — the ones that bring more joy, levity, clarity, and outcomes that genuinely delight you.

I am worried that if I run into Victoria at a social setting, she might say something about me!

Please trust that confidentiality is one of my highest values. I would never share who works with me — and certainly not anything we discuss in a session.

If we ever cross paths in a social setting, you set the tone.
I will always take your lead, and I will never initiate a conversation that reveals our coaching relationship.

Your privacy and your trust are non-negotiable.

Where have you been for the past 6 years?

I share the story on my instagram or LinkedIn (I’m not planning to be active on social media — I simply wanted a place to offer some context). But here’s the short version:

This isn’t a new lane — it’s a restart.

I’ve come to believe we are always exactly where we need to be. My path led me to step away from a decade-long coaching business, and eventually choose to return to this work with a completely different energy: joy, clarity, and intention.

As I approach 50, I feel an even deeper awareness of how quickly life moves — and how powerful it is to create a life by design, not by default.

So here I am, choosing the most textured, true, and delightful version of my life.
And inviting you to do the same.

What has changed for you over the past 6 years?

1) Life is flying by — and I intend to live a lighter and more joy-filled version of it.

2) I trust wholeheartedly that we all have our own answers.
The real work is learning to get quiet enough to hear them.

3) What we focus on persists.
Choosing lighter, more life-giving perspectives truly does change everything.

Even after 10 years of coaching and living a vibrant and full life, perimenopause rocked me. I found myself stuck on my couch — flat and feeling like a shell of myself for almost a year. That experience led me to a hormone specialist, and once I started treatment, I chose to trust that the medication would do its part.

What I had totally forgotten about over that year was the power of my choices.

I had been focusing on how awful I felt, how irritating everyone seemed, and how heavy everything appeared — and life mirrored that right back to me. When I shifted my perspective, again, everything changed.

I had to get out of my own way.
