Hi there, I'm Valerie!
I am passionate about supporting clients through life's challenges and unexpected transitions. My goal is to be with you in the healing and growth process. I maintain a culturally competent approach to honor each individual's specific experience and the influence of cultural heritage on perspectives.
My focus
I work with clients seeking a clearer understanding of how to feel safe in their own body and environment, grow toward positive self-understanding, and build healthier relationships. I support those navigating life transitions, domestic violence, sexual assault, and trauma recovery.
My approach
I meet you with empathy, open-mindedness, and unconditional positive regard. We work collaboratively to identify treatment priorities and create a plan that ensures a beneficial experience. My approach establishes a safe place for building trust and rapport while recognizing the vulnerability and courage it takes to seek a healthier, happier life.
