As a queer person, you have to navigate a world that doesn’t always feel safe or supportive. That means you have to keep it all together, even when things feel like they’re falling apart inside. Life hasn’t been easy. You’ve experienced trauma, rejection, and relationships that left deep emotional marks. Now, you second-guess yourself, carry guilt that isn’t yours, and feel like your emotions are “too much.” You want to feel connected – to yourself and to others – but instead, you feel stuck, overwhelmed, and isolated. You’re not asking for the world – just some peace, clarity, and the freedom to be yourself without fear or apology.

You’re the one who keeps everything running—at work, at home, in your relationships.
Maybe you’re the parent juggling everyone’s needs while silently falling apart.
Maybe you’re grieving a loss that’s changed everything, trying to figure out who you are now.
Maybe you’re chasing achievement, constantly pushing—and still feeling like it’s never enough.
Or maybe your mind just won’t stop. You overthink, over-plan, and lie awake wondering how to handle everything that could go wrong.
From the outside, you seem capable and strong.
But inside, you’re tired. Overwhelmed. Grieving. Spiraling.
And ready for something to change.

I have more than 30 years of experience with the 12-Step approach to recovery, which has given me deep empathy for those struggling with addiction. My personal journey has fueled a strong passion to help others find hope and healing. While the 12-Step program is valuable, I understand that recovery is not the same for everyone, and different approaches may be needed. I served 20 years in the United States Air Force and supported Operation Enduring Freedom. As a veteran, I care deeply about issues affecting veterans and remain committed to helping those, especially veterans, who are working to overcome addiction.

On the outside you have it all together but, on the inside, you are falling apart, you continue to tell yourself you are just tired or stressed. Have you been struggling to do basic things and are uninterested in the things you once enjoyed.

Do you live with emotional trauma, physical trauma, chronic illness or chronic pain? Are you tired of feeling like your life is out of control?
I understand how difficult it can be to live with emotional trauma, physical trauma, chronic illness and chronic pain. Life is not happening the way that you planned. You may be frozen in physical and emotional pain. The pain is not gone even when there is no evidence that it should still be there and you worry how you will show up in your own life if the pain lasts forever. Maybe you can't stop thinking about the thing that happened, no matter how hard you try.

Pregnancy and parenting young children often bring on many feelings. For over 20 years, it has been an honor for Dr. Valerie Dallas, LCSW, to hold space for those feelings, the experiences, and the challenges of being pregnant or a parent to restore hope and envision the future. In addition, for very young children, 0-5, who have experienced stressful, scary, or painful events that impact their behaviors and development, Valerie works with caregivers to offer holistic support that recognizes historical trauma and honors cultural, spiritual, and faith beliefs that are affirming.

In life we frequently encounter obstacles between where we are and what we want to achieve. These obstacles can manifest in the form of depression, anxiety, relationship issues, self-esteem issues, or unresolved trauma. Gaining a better understanding of who we are is an important step in creating a sense of personal fulfillment in all aspects of our lives. I work with individuals to gain insight into the influence of not only past events, but also current patterns of beliefs, with a goal of reconciling past hurts, healing past trauma, and breaking the cycle of unhelpful thoughts, beliefs, and reactions.
