Hey there, I'm Valerie! Do you feel like no matter what you do, things aren't going the way you'd like? Are you struggling to maintain healthy relationships, work and life in general? Is it hard to be kind and compassionate to yourself? I help clients manage depression, anxiety, and to process all kinds of trauma. Together, we can identify what's not working and get you where you would like to be. I use a holistic approach, addressing the needs of your mind, body and spirit. I also work extensively with all kinds of relationship challenges and work to establish healthy relationships with family members, partners, children, and friends. Whatever you are dealing with, I'm here to help. Seeking therapy can feel scary and I admire the courage it took for you to get started. You deserve a safe space to be heard, understood, and have the opportunity to heal and grow. In our sessions together, I'll meet you with compassion and evidence-based techniques to help you overcome anything you are ready to change. Let's get this started.

Valerie is truly a gift from God. She truly gets deep, and isn’t judgemental about anything you tell her. She’s focused on helping you! She also gives such wonderful professional yet Biblical advice, which is what I NEED! My favorite therapist! It truly feels like you’re talking to a friend :)
