Allentown, PA 18106
We are dedicated to providing effective, researched based, creative interventions. In this private practice setting, you will find a safe place to explore, grow, and heal. We offer more than ‘talk therapy.’ Through art therapy and/or talk therapy, one can gain insight, make behavioral shifts, and learn new forms of coping. We focus on the whole person and believe that each individual already possesses all that they need to succeed. The creative process heals all; including those who are not artists. Together, we can meet virtually or in the studio.

Hey, I’m Val. I don't do fake, sugarcoated therapy—I keep it 100% real, honest, and sometimes a little messy, just like life. Therapy should feel like a conversation, not a chore, and definitely not a lecture. Being from Queens, NY and a first-gen kid of immigrants, I know what it is like to carry expectations, push through stigma, and feel like you have to have it all together. I create a space where you can come as you are—messy, confused, overwhelmed, or all of the above. If you are unraveling trauma, battling anxiety, or just trying to survive the chaos, I am in it with you.

As a trauma-informed, bilingual psychotherapist, I am dedicated to facilitating clients' personal healing. I assist individuals in overcoming patterns of recurring memories, maladaptive behaviors, and negative self-perceptions related to themselves, others, and their environment. My objective is to help clients cultivate ambition, a growth-oriented mindset, and sustained commitment to achieving positive change. Our work will commence by examining the formative messages that shape identity, as well as those imposed by one's surroundings, which may lead to feelings of disconnection from oneself.

My clients are women navigating life transitions, including changes in relationships, family roles, health, or identity. These shifts often bring anxiety, emotional overwhelm, or reactivity that can feel difficult to manage, and for some, past trauma becomes part of how these experiences are processed. Many are high functioning but feel disconnected or unsettled internally and want to better understand how their thoughts, emotions, and body responses are interacting. Some notice increased sensitivity, stress, or difficulty regulating emotions during periods of change and are looking to feel more grounded and steady in daily life.

Many of us experience recurring feelings of loss, being lost, not belonging, unshakable sadness, anxiety about future outcomes. We may have experienced trauma, tragedy, abuse as a child or as an adult, toxic relationships or substance abuse etc. If you are reading this you have survived it and I salute your resilience. However sometimes we struggle to feel healthy and wholesome again. The good news is that no feeling is FINAL. Feelings come and go like the weather based on the thoughts that spin around in our heads. The most efficient way to handle such uncomfortable feelings is to learn how to understand and manage our thoughts.

I specialize in empowering women who feel lost in the shuffle of juggling multiple roles and are tired of feeling stuck or guilty for putting themselves first. Many of the women I work with are burned out from constantly giving to others and are ready to reconnect with who they are underneath it all. Clients come to me to quiet the noise of burnout, reclaim their sense of identity, and find their voice again. Together we work to untangle unhelpful patterns, strengthen boundaries, and build a life rooted in greater peace, clarity, and genuine self-confidence.

You analyze every pattern, see the red flags in real-time, and still end up stuck:
You take care of everything and everyone—but do you know what joy feels like when it’s just for you?
You shape-shift to keep the peace—but if you didn't have to betray yourself to make others comfortable?
You hold yourself to impossible standards—but what if “enough” didn’t have to mean perfect?
You’ve spent so long handling everything alone—but what if support didn’t have to mean losing control?
You crave structure but resist rigidity—because you need a system that works with your brain, not against it.

Welcome in! I'm Sage (they/them), a queer, non-binary, AuDHD therapist supporting LGBTQ+ adults navigating PTSD, OCD, and neurodivergence. No masks needed here — therapy with me is collaborative, compassionate, and judgment-free.

Helping other helpers is especially close to my heart — you're used to holding everything together, and you deserve support too. Fun fact: I started an animal rescue, which fuels my dedication in preventing burnout and compassion fatigue. I'm glad you're here!

As I believe that as your therapist, you come first!
