Fun Facts:

SuperPower: To be present in the moment.

Proudest moment: I am most proud of my personal and professional achievements.

  • I have earned my BA in Psychology from William Paterson University and received my Masters in Psychology with a specialization in child and adolescent development at Capella University.

  • Parenting is a life-learning journey that does not come in a one-size-fits-all. I want to support parents by helping them become more aware of themselves and their parenting styles. By providing a strength-based approach, I work with parents to help guide them through their journey.

  • To be present in the moment and meeting familes where they are.

What families are saying about Viki

 

“We've noticed some changes. She is more responsible, it’s going in the right direction. She is also less fidgety and follows directions. For example, she keeps her mask constantly on which is a big challenge for us.”

— Manatee mom

“I am way more patient now. You know as a dad… I tend to lecture, and then listen… now I’ve learned to listen to her first before making conclusions. I’ve also noticed that we are both more comfortable talking about our feelings overall. And, we had a great connection to our therapist, it was clear she had a lot of experience.”
