Integrative somatic trauma therapist helping high‑functioning adults with chronic and complex stress

Welcome!

I’m an integrative somatic trauma therapist who works with high‑functioning adults—the ones everyone leans on, who quietly feel like they’re running on fumes. You might be the competent one at work, the reliable friend, the glue in your family system… and also the person who lies awake at 2 a.m. with a racing mind, tight chest, and a nervous system that didn’t get the memo that things are “safe now.” Chronic stress, illness, or complex trauma can keep your body stuck in survival mode long after the crisis has passed, and it’s exhausting to keep pretending you’re okay when you’re not.

Testimonials

"I am so grateful to Valerie for all of the help that she provided in couples therapy and also individually. She has this amazing ability to have empathy for what you’re going through, while also coaching you, making sure to keep you on track and give you the tools to work through challenges. She comes to meetings prepared, having thought through what we needs to be addressed in order to help you heal. She is quick to see where your communication and relational skills can be improved and models ways to make the changes needed to be in a better place individually and with your partner. It’s a safe place where you can share what you need to without fear of judgement, speak your truth and her ability to let you know you are not alone is healing in itself. Valerie helped to improve my communication skills, my ability to be patient and come from a place of understanding, with others and with myself. I cannot recommend Valerie enough. Hands down the best therapist I have had the experience of working with. She genuinely cares and will do what she can to help you on your journey."

Valerie is an excellent therapist and soul worker. She has rapidly become my go to therapist to send my patients to. As a medical doctor taking care of patients with chronic illnesses, I believe that it is vital to have the support needed to process the illness itself as well as the medical trauma that can occur along the way. Valerie has been able to help so many people, and they come back to me with deep appreciation her work. It is a pleasure to team up with her.
