I received my Masters degree in Marriage & Family Therapy and Mental Health Counseling from Harding University, in Searcy, AR. I am on the cusp of completing my doctoral in Professional Counseling, pending dissertation. I love helping people and that is my passion. I have specialized training in couples therapy and love to help with affair recovery, communication issues, reconnecting to your partner among other relationship issues. I also love to help individuals specifically focusing on mood disorders, self esteem issues, sexual abuse, PTSD, among other individual issues. Not all counselors are a good fit for everyone and if I am not a good fit for you, I will be the first to refer you to someone else. We don't take it personal, trust me, we honestly care about you and just want you to get the help you deserve and to live the life you deserve.

Your goals for your life are important to me and getting to where you want to be in life is something we all deserve.

Vickie has been quick to respond. She didn't judge me and has been supportive. She comforted me. I would recommend her to anyone seeking help and support.
