Hi there, I'm Valda!
Navigating life when feeling unseen and misunderstood is difficult and taxing. I am passionate about creating a warm space for clients to process depression, anxiety, stress, and trauma within a validating framework that appreciates neurodiversity.
My focus
I work with adolescents and adults experiencing depression, anxiety, and stress related to invalidation from past trauma, neurotypical structures, and societal/cultural pressures. Based on your current needs and capacity, we will introspectively process difficulties and build up effective coping to support emotional resilience.
My approach
I like to integrate dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), as well as acceptance and commitment (ACT) concepts and skills in sessions. Utilizing strengths-based collaborative goal setting, I want to promote holistic healing that honors your growth in the therapy room and beyond.
