About Vicki
Her style is straightforward and human. She listens first, then offers information and tools drawn from psychological science. Sessions focus on noticing patterns in thoughts, feelings, and behavior, and on simple steps people can try between meetings.
Vicki blends client-centered work with cognitive behavioral ideas and emotion-focused techniques. She also uses existential and mindfulness influences when they fit a person's goals. This mix is used to address concerns such as anxiety, trauma and abuse, sleeping problems, ADHD, and life changes.
Her background includes work as a behavioral management specialist, faith-based counseling, and roles in corporate, clinical, nonprofit, and public policy settings. She has taught as a college adjunct instructor and completed substantial doctoral study toward a doctorate in clinical psychology.
Vicki emphasizes practical learning and steady progress rather than quick fixes. She encourages people to treat counseling like any other help you seek for a problem - a focused place to recalibrate and practice new habits. If someone wants to explore how thinking and action can change daily experience, she offers guidance and shared effort.
