Meet Vielka

Whether you’re struggling to connect with others, having trouble balancing personal and professional responsibilities, finding closure, or facing illness, we will work together on improving your coping skills to help you manage these challenges. I have over 26 years of experience and this has allowed me to gain the skills necessary to help my clients reach their goals. My approach is very warm and compassionate, making it easy for people to feel comfortable and safe. I find it rewarding to help people move forward and take part in their healing. I enjoy helping people create balance by developing healthy daily habits. I use various modalities to help individuals gain insight, discover inner strength, and take the necessary steps to make changes necessary to achieve their goals. Everyone has a story to tell, and I feel honored to hear yours. I believe everyone can benefit from having someone to share their story with and help them move forward in their journey.

My approach is very warm and compassionate, making it easy for people to feel comfortable and safe.
