Hey, I’m Valerie, a queer clinician dedicated to working collaboratively with clients to explore healing and growth. I believe that each and every one of us deserves to feel safe, worthy, heard, and respected, which is why my approach to therapy centers client autonomy, compassion, and a liberation mindset. My work also makes explicit room for open and flexible conversations about identity, self-worth, sex, and relationships. How we work together will be guided by your interests and strengths, and the work we do will move at the pace that feels best to you. I offer my training in Relational Therapy, EMDR, Somatic Therapy, Mindfulness-Based CBT, Hypnotherapy, DBT, and Trauma-Informed care as a complement to the self-knowledge that you already possess.In-Person Covid Protocols/Protections: Masks are always available and I welcome clients to inform me of their masking preference before sessions. The office is equipped with HEPA filters and hand sanitizer, has a large window that can be opened, and is large enough to maintain a six-foot distance. I monitor my own symptoms closely, test when appropriate, and offer virtual sessions in the event of any symptoms or exposures.
