About Me

I'm Valerie and I'm a licensed clinical social worker who provides a non-judgemental and empowering space for those who are curious about gaining a deeper understanding about what they are experiencing on an individual, relational, and systemic level. I integrate aspects of psychodynamic therapy, EMDR, CBT, DBT, motivational interviewing, and mindfulness. Therapy is a collaborative process, and we can work together to find what modalities fit best with your needs.

 In previous roles, I have worked in non-profit organizations to provide therapy to survivors of interpersonal violence, elder abuse, and human trafficking.
​
In my free time I enjoy trying new restaurants, baking bread, and taking long walks with my dog Pig!
