Vicki is a fully licensed Counsellor who is passionate about providing a space for individuals and couples who are looking to invest into their emotional, spiritual and physical selves for the purpose of restoration, living well and new starts.  Seeing people find release and healing from the difficulties life brings and finding answers and solutions that will help people flourish is the focus and purpose of counselling.

Sometimes we just need a cheerleader to urge us on as we navigate our past, present, and future ’challenges’ in a healthy, healing and productive manner.

It is my aim to help you strengthen the foundation of your life so that no matter what comes your way or has come your way, you can stand firmly, with strength and resilience as you navigate your path forward.  This journey will be taken in a respectful, compassionate, holistic, and integrated eclectic approach that recognizes all clients are individuals and therefore require an individual approach.
