For more than 13 years, I have helped clients navigate life's challenges with compassion, practical guidance, and evidence-based treatment. My advanced clinical training includes education at Princeton and Columbia University, and I specialize in treating depression, anxiety, trauma, OCD, panic attacks, substance use, relationship concerns, men's issues, life transitions, and sports performance. I also work with couples to improve communication, rebuild trust, strengthen connection, and break unhealthy relationship patterns. My approach is collaborative, individualized, and grounded in psychodynamic, cognitive behavioral (CBT), dialectical behavior (DBT), person-centered, and humanistic therapies. I believe lasting change comes from understanding both the individual and the broader context of their life, including family, relationships, work or school, culture, and other environmental influences. Whether you're facing a specific challenge or seeking personal growth, my goal is to help you reduce symptoms, build resilience, deepen self-awareness, and create a more fulfilling life. You don't have to have everything figured out before starting therapy. If you're ready to take the next step, I would be honored to help you move toward the life you want.

Therapy itself is really a story—a journey of understanding, growth, and change. As a Latina therapist, I understand how culture, family, and life experiences can shape who we are—sometimes in beautiful ways, and sometimes in ways that feel heavy or overwhelming. I work with individuals who are navigating anxiety, stress, relationship challenges, and life transitions, or who simply feel stuck and want something to change. My style is warm, down-to-earth, and real. I’ll meet you where you are, without judgment. In our sessions, you can expect a space where you can be yourself fully—whether that means talking things through, processing emotions, or even laughing a little along the way. I use approaches like CBT, mindfulness, and strengths-based therapy, but most importantly, I focus on what actually works for you. I especially connect with clients who may feel pressure to “have it all together,” who are used to being strong for everyone else, or who are trying to balance different parts of their identity. Together, we’ll work on setting boundaries, understanding your patterns, and helping you feel more grounded and confident in your life.

Hi, I’m Valerie, and I specialize in complex/developmental trauma and grief. I work primarily with women navigating childhood trauma, complicated family dynamics, narcissistic abuse, and what it means to move through life without the support they should have had. I also work with young adults who have experienced the loss of one or both parents. Many of my clients are used to being the "strong one" -- the one who holds everything together, even while feeling overwhelmed, disconnected, or exhausted underneath. Therapy with me is a space where you don’t have to do that anymore. I use EMDR and Induced After Death Communication therapies to help process experiences that feel stuck, not just intellectually, but emotionally and physically. This work goes beyond talking about what happened; we focus on helping your system actually shift so those experiences no longer carry the same weight. I have a particular passion for working with grief, including the kind that isn’t always recognized—like estrangement, losing a parent (emotionally or physically), or becoming an adult without the support you needed. I don’t believe grief is something you “get over,” but something you learn to carry differently. I earned my Master of Social Work from Fordham University and my Bachelor of Social Work from Adelphi University, graduating summa cum laude from both. I began my work in a community mental health clinic and later worked in several private practices before opening my own.

I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor with extensive experience supporting individuals across the lifespan, including adolescents, adults, couples, families, and older adults. I specialize in helping clients who are struggling with anxiety, trauma, emotional overwhelm, relationship challenges, and life transitions, and who are seeking both relief and deeper understanding of themselves. Clients often describe me as warm, grounded, and easy to talk to, while also thoughtful and direct when helping them identify patterns that may be keeping them stuck. My approach is collaborative and compassionate, with a strong focus on helping clients feel emotionally safe while also gently encouraging insight, reflection, and meaningful change. In my work, I integrate cognitive behavioral therapy, mindfulness-based strategies, trauma-informed care, and psychodynamic principles. This allows me to support both present-day symptom relief and deeper exploration of long-standing emotional and relational patterns. My clinical background includes many years of work in community mental health in New York City, where I provided care to diverse and underserved populations. I also have experience in inpatient psychiatric settings supporting individuals during acute crises, as well as involvement in psychiatric research, which strengthened my foundation in evidence-based and clinically grounded care. At the core of my work is the belief that people are not defined by their symptoms or their past experiences. Instead, therapy is a space to better understand yourself, shift long-standing patterns, and build a more grounded, connected and intentional life.

I am a License Mental Health Counselor in New York and Florida that works with marital counseling clients and those experiencing relationship issues and who are struggling with their sense of self confidence. My ideal client is someone who is committed to the process of self-introspection and wants to be held accountable to reach their goals. I specialize in counseling women and men on self-esteem, worth & actualization. I also support clients affected by bullying, narcissistic abuse as well as those dealing with complicated grief. As your therapist, I will assist you in discovering or uncovering yourself. This might mean realizing some difficult truths about your personality and behavior patterns, tapping into your strengths, and identifying what coping skills work for you. Or, it might mean working through emotional pain, trauma, or barriers that prevent you from being your best self. In my years of experience, I have found that once a person’s authentic identity has been discovered through therapy, clients can accept who they are, confidently speak up for themselves and understand themselves with greater perspective. Usually this leads to healthier relationship choices and dynamics. I will help you to learn more about yourself and make realistic changes.
