Hi there, I'm Valerie!
Maybe you're a high-achieving teen noticing a shift in your mood, or a college student balancing life stressors and expectations. Navigating changing friendships, schools, and figuring out adulthood can be difficult, not to mention socio-cultural stressors. I'm here to provide support and tools you need to continue your journey with confidence.
My focus
I work with BIPOC preteens, teens, foster youth, and transitional age adults managing anxiety, depression, racial stressors, life transitions, interpersonal relationships, low self-esteem, and self-doubt. We develop a well-rounded toolbox with communication techniques, healthy boundary setting, and realistic self and soul care strategies.
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.
