I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker at Affinity Clinical Services, LLC. I have been in private practice since 2012 and work with clients on numerous issues, including stress, anxiety, grief, trauma, eating disorders, divorce and much more. I work mostly with older teens, young adults, adults, and seniors. This year has proven to be somewhat stressful with all that is taking place. If you are feeling stuck, lonely, anxious or just not yourself and just need to talk , feel free to contact me. As a therapist I provide a safe, nurturing environment that will help clients navigate through difficult times.

Life can be difficult and overwhelming. It can feel worse when you feel alone or misunderstood. Have you ever felt this way? Looking for a therapist can be daunting, especially if you are seeking support for the first time. My goal is for you to feel safe while you embark on a journey to a healthier and happier version of yourself. Are you struggling with self-harm, life transitions, grief, depression, anxiety, relationships, or simply need someone to talk to? Call me. Just know that I incorporate sarcasm and humor into therapy. It's okay to have some fun. I do speak some Greek and grew up with European culture (Greek/Italian).

With a specialization in trauma recovery and marital / couples support, I’m passionate about working with individuals and couples who are ready to explore what healing and connection can look like, especially when those things feel out of reach. I work with individuals who’ve experienced trauma, whether from childhood, relationships, or life events, and who are seeking a safe and supportive space to process their experiences, reconnect with themselves, and move forward with more clarity and confidence. I also support couples who are navigating conflict, disconnection, or trust issues.

Sometimes the hardest part isn't the struggle itself – it's finding someone who actually gets it. Whether you're managing ADHD that makes daily life feel like an uphill battle, grief that doesn't follow anyone's timeline, anxiety that won't quiet down, or the particular weight that comes with a life spent in service to others, you need more than a therapist who listens. You need one who understands. I know what it's like to navigate mental health challenges personally – and that lived experience is part of what makes me the therapist I am.

You don’t have to white-knuckle your way through stress, frustration, or uncertainty on your own. Many of my clients have spent years trying to push themselves through difficult emotions on their own, only to feel stuck in the same patterns—strained relationships, intense emotions, or behaviors that don’t align with what they want in life. Whether you are a student, a working individual, or just feeling stuck, I provide a supportive space for all where you feel understood and reassured that you are not alone in your journey.

With over 30 years of clinical experience, Valerie takes a collaborative and direct approach to effectively create a safe space for families who face issues associated with chronic illness, divorce, eating disorders and addiction recovery. Some situations are best handled with traditional “talk” therapies, while other concerns may need more active interventions to modify an unproductive behavior pattern or lifestyle.

You may love your partner deeply and still feel stuck in the same painful arguments. Maybe small disagreements escalate quickly, or silence stretches longer than you’d like. You might feel unheard, misunderstood, or constantly on edge, wondering how things became so tense. Old wounds, trust issues, or unspoken resentment may be shaping your reactions. Perhaps you’re tired of repeating patterns you swore you’d never fall into. You want closeness again. You want calmer conversations, real understanding, and a relationship that feels safe rather than strained, but you’re not sure how to get there on your own.

Therapy has to be about the client’s agenda and their needs and goals. Together we identify issue(s) to focus on and what changes the client is hoping to see. Together we identify the client’s strengths and the obstacles preventing them from living their best lives, such as flawed perceptions and thought patterns, negative self talk, self defeating behavior or a history of trauma or relationship issues. Then we focus on identifying solutions and how to implement them, managing and troubleshooting any obstacles that may arise.

I specialize in treating Trauma (single event, long-term and attachment) with experiential therapies, including EMDR & Somatic Experiencing. These interventions recognize the need to go beyond changing your thoughts and focus on helping people regulate the body sensations and emotions that continue to be experienced. For example: a person may know that a traumatic event is over and yet continue to feel the emotion of anxiety and the body sensation of muscle tension (never truly relaxing or feeling safe). This can activate an impulse to run away from situations, become angry/defensive or shut down (depressed/ avoidant/dissociative)
