My work

I help people resolve inner challenges and learn to trust themselves using the Internal Family Systems model. Many of the clients I work with struggle with burnout, depression, anxiety, and the effects of trauma. Some experience a dark energy inside. On a seasonal basis, I offer private nature retreats for women in southwest Wisconsin. See below for what my clients say it's like to work with me.

My personal life

I’m a seventh generation Texan and mother of a delightful young girl. I love humor, feel deeply connected to nature, and am endlessly curious about what people experience. My guiding values are love and freedom. I live in a hidden gem of rural Wisconsin known as the Driftless Region, and I travel often to Austin, Texas, my hometown and home of many people I love.

My clients' feedback & recommendations

“I feel like a different person since our session. It was life-changing. Everything opened up and seemed to be clear. For the first time in my life, I really appreciate the Christmas lights. I can’t thank you enough – you gave me my life back. There’s a great big world out there that I’m ready to live in. Now I know that I’m going to be okay.”

“I want to express my gratitude for your help. I can see that sessions with you are really changing me internally. I am kinder to myself and I accept myself more than ever. Thank you!”

"I just had my first IFS session with Vicky, and it was a beautiful experience of seeing and gently working to heal such deep parts of me with acceptance and love. Vicky is such a gift to this work, as she holds such compassionate space and really made me feel safe, seen, and comfortable to access those parts of me that needed healing during our powerful session. She facilitated the process with such natural flow, expertise, and intuitive skill. Vicky does amazing, unique, and masterful work at guiding and bringing forth transformation in her clients, and I am honored to have experienced it for myself. I would recommend her to anyone who is called to doing the work to connect more deeply with themselves and to improve their lives from the inside out!"

"Every time we have these sessions, I learn that I intuitively know these things. And every time, it's a profound experience to recognize that the answer is already inside myself."

"I used to think it would be impossible for me to ever truly overcome some deeply seeded core personality traits, like the constant fear of rejection and the constant need for approval. I am in awe of my parts and my Self now that they are learning to work together instead of against one another. I am developing Self mastery as a result of my work with Vicky. Some of it happens instantly and some of it is an ongoing process. Vicky is an outstanding listener. I've seen dozens of professionals and Vicky has been the best for me by far."

“If you get the chance to work with IFS and are able to get Vicky as your coach, I wholeheartedly recommend you do it! I was doubtful of IFS in my first session, but it quickly became clear that I have different “parts” of my personality, and they need to communicate more together for me to understand myself and become able to make more conscious decisions. The second session was even more amazing. The third session was mind-blowingly beautiful and went so deep into my childhood and problems with addiction that I couldn’t remember it clearly afterward. But then Vicky sent me a 2-page summary, which clarified my healing journey. I have been working with myself in Buddhist Meditation and Healing Communities for more than 30 years, but I have to admit that IFS is a much-needed tool and that Vicky is extremely wise and compassionate in her work.”

"By me changing, it's changing everything."
