Vicki loves the magical feeling the first snowfall of the season brings when everything transforms into a quiet winter wonderland. You’ll often find her curled up with a good book or spending time with her family and beloved dogs. She’s a big fan of tulips, Diet Dr. Pepper, and a good shopping trip. Her dream is to travel to Iceland, Scotland, and Ireland someday.
Vicki is passionate about helping children and teens heal and grow through connection and evidence-based therapies. With training in EMDR and Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TF-CBT), she specializes in trauma-based therapy and often utilizes play therapy, sand tray therapy, and EMDR. She especially enjoys working with children and using developmentally appropriate therapies to help them process their experiences and emotions.
Her favorite part of her job is working with people who share diverse backgrounds and experiences, as well as the relationships she builds with clients and colleagues who bring unique stories and perspectives to the table.
Vicki lives by the quote: “Go into the world and do well, but more importantly, go into the world and do good.” And that’s exactly what she strives to do, one meaningful connection at a time.

I have taken my kids to Wee Care Pediatric since they were born, and they have been amazing. They have always addressed my concerns and provided excellent care for my children, who are always treated with friendliness and compassion. Even when our primary doctor changed locations, we switched to another doctor, and Dr. Maxwell has been fantastic. Every doctor who has treated us has been great.
