Hi, I’m Val.
My passion is working with individuals to work through the struggles of everyday life. Life can be unpredictable, exhausting, and frustrating. What I hope for in therapy is that you can feel comfortable, safe, and heard. Through collaboration, my hope is to be your advocate and open up a space for you to feel empowered.
I offer adult/teen therapy. I can meet you in person or online.
Having experience as a school social worker helps me to be able to collaborate with teenagers and their people to work through things such as school frustrations, home frustrations or uncertain feelings. I have experiences with new diagnoses, anxiety and depression. My goal is to meet you where you are at, and help guide you on the path to feeling like the problems can be solved.
You and your people are not on this path alone, let me help you feel like your best selves.
