I am a psychotherapist who offers a compassionate, thoughtful, and empathetic approach to therapy. 

I help individuals increase curiosity and understanding about their life experiences, and identify and work through blocks to healthy relationships, balance, and overall well-being. 

I know entering therapy can be a frightening step. I understand finding a person to guide and support you in this journey can be daunting.  I offer you this poem as a pledge that I can and will be with you each step of the way with no judgement or shame just authentic acceptance of your experiences and feelings.

"I had no idea how my seemingly normal childhood had so much to do with how I was not able to maintain relationships.  Vicki helped me to find answers to  questions instead of blaming myself for being inadequeate."

                                                                                                                                                                                           -Katy

 "I have had many therapists, psychiatrists etc...over the years and Vicki was the best!  So easy to relate to.  I never felt embarrashed or shamed.  That is huge."                                                                                                                                                                     -Judy

'Vicki encouraged  me to sort through my story without pushing me to a place I didn't feel I had enough stregnth to deal with."                                                                                                            - Marco

"I met Vicki 13 years ago.  She was my support for a long time.  I still stop by whenever I am in her building to say hello and show her I am how well I am doing."  -Curtis

 

It doen't interest me 

what you do for a living.

I want to know 

what you ache for

and if you dare to dream

of meeting your heart's longing.

 

It doesn't interest me

how old you are.

I want to know

if you will risk

looking like a fool

for love

for your dream

for the adventure of being alive.

 

It doesn't interest me

what planets are squaring your moon

I want to know if you have touched

the centre of your own sorrow

if you have been opened 

by life's betrayals

or if you have become shrivel and closed

from fear of further pain.

 

I want to know if

can sit with pain

mine or your own

without moving to hide it

fade it 

or fix it.

 

I want to know if 

you can be with joy

mine or your own

if you can dance with wildness
and let the ecstasy fill you 
to the tips of your fingers and toes
without cautioning us
to be careful
to be realistic
to remember the limitations
of being human.

 

It doesn’t interest me
if the story you are telling me
is true.
I want to know if you can
disappoint another
to be true to yourself.
If you can bear
the accusation of betrayal
and not betray your own soul.
If you can be faithless
and therefore trustworthy.

 

I want to know if you can see Beauty
even when it is not pretty
every day.
And if you can source your own life
from its presence.

I want to know
if you can live with failure
yours and mine
and still stand at the edge of the lake
and shout to the silver of the full moon,
“Yes.”

 

It doesn’t interest me
to know where you live
or how much money you have.
I want to know if you can get up
after the night of grief and despair
weary and bruised to the bone
and do what needs to be done
to feed the children.

 

It doesn’t interest me
who you know
or how you came to be here.
I want to know if you will stand
in the centre of the fire
with me
and not shrink back.

 

It doesn’t interest me
where or what or with whom
you have studied.
I want to know 
what sustains you
from the inside
when all else falls away.

I want to know
if you can be alone 
with yourself
and if you truly like
the company you keep
in the empty moments.
