She is awesome especially for somebody who has been burnt by past therapy situations. I trust her completely

Valerie is very kind, understanding and also keeps it very real. I appreciate unfiltered people, and her willingness to get right to the point.

Valerie is an incredible therapist. She's everything you would find in a compassionate, patient, competent professional plus so much more. She's gentle yet direct; she is soothing yet goal-oriented; highly intelligent yet very humble. I've found myself incredibly lucky to have been paired with such an amazingly supportive professional.
