I'm so glad that you are looking at therapist profiles to find someone that is right for you. That first step of establishing relationship is very important. I am a seasoned therapist with more than 15 years in private practice and a reputation for establishing good rapport with a wide variety of clients. It is a privilege to share your story and join you in your journey to greater health and peace. My training and experience have prepared me to work with those who are depressed, anxious, in troublesome relationships, experiencing medical illnesses, or wanting to understand themselves better. My approach is cognitive-behavioral with influence and interventions from problem-solving approaches, insight oriented therapy, emotional regulation strategies, and Christian therapy. I look forward to working with you as you invest your time and energy in bettering yourself.

Valerie is a very caring person and wonderful therapist! I benefited more from our first 45 minute session than I had from four 1-hour sessions with an in-person therapist. She is a wonderful listener and helps me see things from a different perspective. I am extremely happy that she is working with me!!!

Valerie is soft-spoken, but I pause and lean in for more when she offers advice. She is very relatable, as well as professional.
