I’ve worked with Vicki for over a year now and she’s been so helpful! I struggle with anxiety, and her calming, certain voice and demeanor help to calm my anxiety and bring me back to reality. She has given me valuable coping skills for different moments in my life and has helped me get through those moments with grace. I appreciate the work she’s put into helping me. I’m happy I took the step to talk to a therapist, and having Vicki as that therapist is even better.

Written on Nov 10, 2025 after therapy with Vicki for 1 year and 3 months on issues concerning depression, stress, anxiety, relationship issues, family conflicts, intimacy-related issues, eating disorders, self esteem, career difficulties, coping with life changes, coaching, compassion fatigue, and adhd

Vicki's wisdom and expertise has been a tremendous blessing and effective tool for me in this season. Her sensibility on knowing when to listen and when to speak as well as her acute intuition have brought me peace and breakthrough in all areas of my life, some being rather complex and complicated. Having been in therapy in various sessions for most of my life, I can confidently say that Vicki is someone I'd recommend to anyone who is open to sincere transformation and breakthrough. Also, she is very kind and compassionate whilst holding gentle authority in her knowledge. Very grateful for Vicki and recommend her to the highest degree.
