TESTIMONIALS

“I really appreciate Vickie's thoughtfulness and perceptiveness as I journeyed through therapy for the first time. She helped me develop a more trustworthy relationship with my body and heart. My sessions were truly formative to my healing process!” 

“Working with Vickie completely changed my relationship to myself. I move with so much more groundedness, kindness, and with Vickie's guidance, have come into deep relationship with and awareness of the wise and loving parts of myself. This has fundamentally changed my relationship to shame, anxiety, fear, and I feel the ripples of our sessions in my daily life. I can't thank Vickie for being such an affirming guide along my healing journey.”

“Vickie has been a solid light in my life. She holds wisdom that is fierce and opens perspectives. Her presence has helped hold me, and guides me towards remembering my whole self.”

“Vickie has a unique gift of holistically supporting individuals and organizations through complex issues with a astute awareness of intersectionality, identity politics, psychology, interpersonal dynamics, and inter-generational trauma. Her Earth honoring reverence for all things sacred shines through the dynamism of all her offerings. She walks with an unfettered kindness and care that is healing for all who have the privilege of getting to work with and alongside her.”

“Working with Vickie has truly helped me grow and transform. When I struggle with anxious thoughts, self-limiting patterns, and echoes of old traumas, Vickie has helped me learn to return to my body. I've learned to practice patience with my own growing journey; and can even meet feelings I used to deny—like anger, jealousy, sadness—with compassion and understanding. I, and others in my life, have noticed such a difference in the years we've worked together. Our work has not only impacted me; it's fortified my personal relationships and helped strengthen the way I show up for my community.”

“I've worked with half a dozen therapists over various periods, but I trust Vickie over anyone else to go beyond common therapeutic techniques, identifying trauma, and building positive life habits - things we still do together. She holds space for difficult experiences without bringing hostility or judgment, navigates complex concepts and identities, and invites kindness to the painful contradictions specific to my own life. It has been crucial for me to work with a therapist who's fluent in principles of collective healing, social justice, and various wisdom traditions and who brings those guiding principles into her work. Vickie has made it exceedingly easy to establish a shared understanding which has made more of the time we've spent in sessions fruitful whether simply being present to the moment, my body, and our living Earth or developing mental models and concrete goals toward spiritual growth and good praxis. It has been a joy to work with her.”

“Vickie feels like a guide who assists me with connecting with my intuition and sitting with my emotions. She utilizes various modalities, such as mindfulness, and Earth-based and embodied practices, to aid in my healing journey. She has introduced me to various communities and spaces that support my overall well-being. I appreciate her compassionate and responsive approach.” 

“Vickie has a beautiful way of holding space. In our group, she supported each of us individually to feel seen or make sense of what we were going through while also tying our experiences to a bigger collective meaning. I appreciate her toolbox of mindfulness, somatics, ancestral healing, spirit and of course psychotherapy.”
