LMHC, 39 years of experience
Hi! I'm Vicki, and I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor and Behavior Analyst. Are you struggling with problems that have a negative impact on your quality of life? Tired of trying to figure out how to change things on your own? I would love to work with you to help you sort through those things that are keeping you from living the life you want to enjoy. I enjoy the art of applying a unique blend of mental health and behavioral approaches to life's problems. I love supporting motivated individuals to identify those areas of their lives that are standing in the way of experiencing the high quality life they want and deserve. Whether you're dealing with relationship issues, family issues, overwhelm, anxiety or depression, I am here to help you identify what's not working in your life and get you to a place of balance and inner calm. Together, we can create a safe space for you to share and develop new skills. As we work together, I can provide you with research- and evidence-based tools and techniques to address those problematic life areas. I look forward to working together!
In our first session together, we'll start with brief introductions, then dive into the specific challenges you're facing. We'll look at what's challenging for you, what's getting in the way of your hopes and dreams, or just everyday frustrations. Try to find a way to "fix" what's broken and cope with what can't be fixed.
My strengths lie in diagnosing problems that affect quality of life, targeting those areas that are problematic and providing guidance and direction to develop effective alternatives to life problems. I have been a behavior analyst working with children, adolescents, and families for over 35 years. My techniques are solution-based, well researched and validated, and based in both Cognitive Behavior Therapy and Applied Behavior Analysis. I specialize in anxiety disorders, ADHD, and depression. I believe in finding and developing real-life solutions to real-life problems.

I sought help for myself because of anxiety related to family problems. Vicky was very helpful she listened to me and and offered some suggestions. I came away feeling like she really understood my issues and I’m glad to have found her.

A friend recommended grow. I searched for a mature woman to ideally help me thru a terrible time with my 91 year old Mom & 65 year old brother. Vicki was very insightful, a great listener, asked thoughtful questions, offered her observations & several suggestions to help me out of the depths of depression. I'll be seeing her several times a month. Thank you, Vicki

I feel so relieved after speaking to Vicki, she is really warm and understanding, you can tell she really cares and wants to help
The primary goal of CBT is to teach you ways to approach thoughts differently so when they do come, you don’t have to buy into them or let yourself believe your negative thoughts. CBT works to identify thoughts that contribute to your emotional distress and influence you to behave in negative ways.
