More about Valerie

  • 35 years' experience

  • Psychologist

As a licensed therapist with extensive experience in California, I specialize in supporting individuals through complex life transitions and emotional challenges. My approach is deeply compassionate and tailored to each person's unique journey, with a particular focus on helping clients navigate stress, depression, life changes, and interpersonal dynamics.

I bring decades of professional expertise in addressing a wide range of emotional and psychological concerns, including social anxiety, trauma recovery, relationship difficulties, and personal growth. My therapeutic style emphasizes self-compassion, effective communication, and empowering clients to discover their inner strength and resilience.

My practice centers on creating a supportive, non-judgmental space where individuals can explore their experiences, heal from past challenges, and develop meaningful strategies for personal transformation. Whether you're struggling with life transitions, relationship issues, or seeking deeper self-understanding, I'm committed to walking alongside you with expertise and genuine care.

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.

Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.
