About

My name is Vicki and I have a Master’s degree in Community Health and a Master’s degree in Clinical Social Work. As my farmer friend would say "I am "awfully" educated! I have clinical experience in all dimensions of mental health, in inpatient, community settings, and office practice. I have met with people in schools, libraries, restaurants, churches, ERs, hospitals, at home, at bedsides, and in parks. Wherever they were comfortable. I have used the telephone and computer to provide treatment Counseling and therapy are very personal processes and it takes time to feel trust and comfortable in a therapeutic relationship. My job is to listen as you identify your issues and concerns. We will explore alternatives to change to help you experience a healthier and happier life. I incorporate expressive therapies, creative writing, literature. and other art forms on a case-by-case basis. One day I was working with a young teenage girl and we were discussing totems I stated mine was The Butterfly, and I wondered if it was the right totem for me. She was a Native American Indian and she said "Let's go ask my grandfather" so we did. When I told him my totem was The Butterfly he said, "Perfect! The Butterfly is about change and you help people change!" That is what I would like to do with you. Find that change to a happier, healthier life!
