About
Hi there! My name is Valerie and I am a licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) in California. I have been working in the counseling field since 2010 with children, families and adults in a variety of settings. My most recent work has been with young children and their families, and we often focused on parenting, support for the parents/primary caregivers, behavioral support and training, and navigating life transitions.
I approach counseling through a strength-based lens and will work with you to uncover your needs and goals. I believe that the therapeutic process works well when we have a collaborative relationship, and my hope is that together we can come up with a plan to get you moving in the direction that will lead to positive change in your life. I find that a holistic approach focusing on mindfulness, movement and connection can have a great impact on one's overall well-being. It is possible to incorporate self- care into your daily life, and I am here to help. If you are a parent, this is especially important!
We don't always have big life changing issues facing us, but that doesn't mean we don't need or deserve the same support. At times we need a safe and judgement-free space to unload or vent, and I am happy to provide that for you. Other times we need a little nudge in a certain direction to make a significant change in our lives so I may use a more directive and goal-oriented approach. I enjoy the uniqueness in each client and look forward to creating a path towards positive change with you.
