About
Hello there, I'm Vicki. Are you feeling the pressures of life or struggling with issues interfering with your daily functioning? I am here to empower you to be your own agent of change. Together we can focus on what's working and what's not been working in your life, develop healthy coping skills and find renewed balance in your life. I'm an advocate of the.empowerment model and addressing both the mind and body connections. I've treated many populations, primarily kids and teens, along with adults, couples and families. My approaches cater to the needs of my clients, I meet you where you are at. These include CBT, DBT, REBT, Mindfulness, and other evidence-based interventions. I'm also an expressive therapist, using art, music and narrative exercises to inspire creativity and healthy outlets for my clients. This comes naturally, because I am a singer songwriter, and play guitar and piano when I'm not a therapist. I have affinity for the LGBTQIA population, and have done years of great work in this sector. I also have extensive experience with substance abuse and co-occuring clients, and seen some great outcomes in treatment with me. I will be a compassionate and empathetic guide to change. I know seeking therapy can be scary, but be proud you are taking the first steps towards your personal wellness. You are in a safe place to start the healing process with me and you will grow and heal with each session you attend. Together, you can achieve your goals of therapy, and work on the best version of yourself. I look forward to meeting you and getting to know you.
