SHE/HER
Valerie is a psychotherapist dedicated to fostering intimacy, connection, and support in relationships through strengthening avenues of interpersonal communication.
She holds space for those seeking deeper understanding of themselves, encouraging her clients towards positive growth in alignment with their values and an authentic way of being.
Valerie works with individuals, couples, and polycules, with a particular focus on supporting the justice-impacted population.
She is kink-affirming, LGBTQ+ inclusive, and draws from her own lived experience as a queer-identifying human to cultivate an empathetic therapeutic relationship.
Valerie’s clinical background spans correctional and community mental health settings, where she has supported clients navigating addiction, trauma, severe mental illness, and complex life transitions. She holds an Advanced Certificate in Victimology and is passionate about creating empowering spaces for survivors, women, and women-identifying individuals. Her work often centers around drawing strength through self-empowerment, and reconnection with one’s feminine.
Her integrative approach balances structure with radical acceptance, weaving together elements of DBT, CBT, attachment theory, feminist theory, and harm reduction. Valerie also incorporates holistic modalities such as ecotherapy, using the grounding presence of nature to support clients in reconnecting with their bodies and the natural cycles of transformation..
