Vicki describes herself as having a down-to-earth nature, a sense of humor, and personable demeanor.
Using an approach that combines Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Acceptance and Commitment
Therapy (ACT), and Person-Centered techniques, she works to facilitate an environment of hope and
healing; to integrate faith, grace, and proven psychological principles with individuals, couples and families
as they work through their difficulties and make changes toward a healthier, happier life.
Vicki and her husband Tim have three children and two grandchildren. As the mother of an autistic young man, she understands the challenges as well as the joys that come with raising a child with special needs, and together with her family is an active advocate for children and families of children with autism.
Additionally, Vicki is trained in Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) and holds
certifications in Anger Management, Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Anxiety, and Personality
Disorders.
