My ideal clients want to achieve stabilization in thoughts, mood, and behavior. They are at a point where they are aware of a change in their “norm” and want to process through symptoms that have surfaced as a result of that change. They are looking for coping skills and techniques to assist initially in stabilization and possibly continued work to process through past events that might possibly affect them in the present. They have goals of identifying triggers and stressors, understanding current or past coping, and develop healthy coping strategies and interventions. They want to "feel" like themselves again.

I don't really believe in the idea of "an ideal client". Each person brings their unique experiences with them. It's my job, as a therapist, to meet you where you are right here, right now.

Hello there. Please feel free to call me Valerie. Let me say from the start, that I believe no one has it ALL figured out and that’s okay because it’s a part of living life. We just need to keep moving forward, right? Right!! Albeit, sometimes in life we forget about our inner selves and begin to exhibit feelings of self- doubt, anxiety, depression, or simply lose focus on our life’s purpose which causes us to see only our problems! Today, I want you to know and feel that, together (you and I), can find the light at the end of your tunnel and get you moving towards a bright, lively, positive, and more manageable life!
