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.
Valerie has a special interest in the effects of lifestyle on mental health and relationships. She has extensive post-graduate training in "wellness lifestyle science," is a certified parent educator, collaborative divorce coach and child specialist, with a solid reputation for helping families to navigate all life transitions.
In addition to her role as therapist, Valerie is an engaging speaker, giving presentations on a variety of relationship topics across the country, in person, on radio and television. She is authentic and direct, using both and humor to create comfort and promote positive change in her clients.
