Hello, I’m Dr. Val, I offer you a safe and compassionate place where I listen deeply to you and together we can heal the pain you are experiencing. I will guide you in increasing your self-awareness, self-compassion, acceptance and learning new ways to be in this ever changing body and world. I believe through work in therapy you can make lasting and personally empowering changes that will serve you and those you love. I have over 30 years of experience as a therapist working with individuals facing age-related changes, grief, stress, trauma, chronic illness and pain, depression and anxiety. In this difficult time of uncertainty you likely will experience increased stress. Stress contributes to depression, anxiety and can worsen trauma symptoms, bringing up painful memories. These conditions can effect your sleep, physical symptoms of illness and worsen physical pain. If you are experiencing any of the above concerns please call me.
