As someone in the helping field myself it can be challenging finding a therapist you really jive with. She has been heaven sent in my life and provided me with a safe space & helped me with compassion fatigue & other personal struggles. I’m very grateful to be working with her!

I find it greatly difficult to describe my feelings and thought process. I struggle with alot of shame, embarrassment telling others what makes me feel sad, disappointed and upsetting. Valentina helps me express my feelings comfortably and slowly release alot of built up sadness and worry. She makes me feel safe in expressing my pain on things I’ve tried to push away and forget for years . She does not rush me, she’s calm, kind , empathetic and authentic … I look forward to understanding myself and healing with her help .

Valentina is a great listener and even if she can’t respond to a message right away she will get back to me when she can and she helps me feel better about myself.
