Meet Valerie

I am a licensed clinical social worker with over 15 years of experience working in the mental health field.

I view the client/therapist relationship as an equal one and truly believe that you are the expert on you. I’m here to help guide you, give you support, and lead you to your strengths.

Providing convenient and efficient access to care for all clients

The process of finding the right therapist and getting started can be overwhelming. I strive to streamline the process by eliminating unnecessary hassles so you can focus on what truly matters - your well-being.

From online scheduling and client portal access, to completing all initial paperwork- your first appointment is only a few clicks away.
