Hi there, I'm Valerie!
Maybe you're a high-achieving, goal-driven teen, and you’ve noticed a recent shift in your mood that seems unlikely for you. Maybe you are a college student trying to balance life stressors and expectations from loved ones. Navigating big transitional stages like changing friendships, changing schools, and figuring out adulthood can be difficult.
My focus
My experience has been focused on working with BIPOC preteens, teens, foster youth, and transitional age adults who deal with managing anxiety, depression, racial stressors, life transitions, interpersonal relationships, low self-esteem, and self-doubt.
My approach
I believe we can regain control of our thoughts and emotions and take back the driver's seat in our lives. By utilizing DBT and CBT, I help you learn skills to navigate life's challenges while incorporating a strengths-based, client-centered approach that molds our sessions to fit your needs best.
