I have enjoyed Valerie so far. She listen's intentionally and meets you where you are and holds you accountable. I always leave with a reflection and something to take with me that enhances my growth.

I like talking with my therapist because she challenges me to look at things from a different perspective and to identify what realt makes me think the way I do

She is very open and honest. She mirrors the information that you tell her back to you in a way that makes you want to explore and really trust the process of working through your past traumas, grief, etc... She listens to you, and gives positive feedback.

From my experiences with Valerie, I noticed that she does everything she can to understand one’s point of view without placing her judgment/bias on a situation. She consistently shows genuine care, empathy, and compassion. She will ask questions to guide one on a path of discovering solutions to addressed problems. She is very encouraging and optimistic! I highly recommend her as a therapist.
