Everything we do is an attempt to take care of ourselves or others.

But most people reach out to me because they feel trapped in a cycle of doing things that they know just aren’t working anymore:

They have a habit or addiction they just can’t shake - no matter how many plans they’ve made to quit.

They’re stuck in a pattern of blowing up or shutting down in disagreements - even when they’ve tried to communicate better.

They keep taking on more work or projects - even when burnout is knocking on the door.

They continue to try self-help strategies like positive affirmations or morning routines - even though they never really make a difference.

I’m Virginia - IFS therapist & therapeutic coach.

No matter how self-destructive or pointless our actions and thoughts seem to be, the intention behind them is always to meet a deeper need.

Once we get to the bottom of what exactly that need is, we have the freedom to choose how to meet it.

And I’m here to support you to do just that.

With over 14 years of professional training and experience, I specialize in using Internal Family Systems (IFS) and down-to-earth mindfulness approaches to work with:

I offer services in both English & Spanish.

  • "An abundance of wisdom and a compassionate and warm presence"

    I have known Virginia since we trained together at Naropa University. She has an abundance of wisdom and a compassionate and warm presence. She brings ideal skills as a mindfulness coach: she cares deeply about those she supports, is curious and discerning, is extremely well-versed in mindfulness traditions, is both direct and kind, and infuses fun and humor in her work. I recommend Virginia whole-heartedly!

  • "She’s incredibly supportive, explains concepts and practices in a way that’s easy to put them into action, and is just a genuinely caring person"

    Working with Virginia has always been a pleasure. She’s incredibly supportive, explains concepts and practices in a way that’s easy to put them into action, and is just a genuinely caring person. Her demeanor is down-to-earth and approachable, and I appreciate that she doesn’t rely on flowery, new-age ways of speaking and interacting. I found her approach practical without being cold and thought-provoking without being overly esoteric. She gently pushed me to explore new ideas that led to a lot of personal growth. I can strongly recommend working with Virginia!

  • "A unique blend of evidence-based practices with the compassionate foundation of mindfulness"

    Virginia brings together a unique blend of evidence-based practices with the compassionate foundation of mindfulness and contemplative practice. This combination enables clients to get direct skills, coaching, and support, while also being in genuine relationship with an attuned helper who cares deeply.

Let’s chat.

I understand the what it means to try to find a therapist or coach, including not knowing where to look for the support you need or simply feeling sick of the process. I’m here to hear about all of it and to explore whether I’m the right person for you at this point in your journey.
