Therapy should feel like a collaborative space where you feel understood, supported, and capable of creating change. I work with children, adolescents, and adults from diverse backgrounds, and I have provided care in private practice, as well as hospitals and inpatient facilities. I am a University of Michigan and New York University graduate strives to create a warm, engaging environment where everyone feels safe expressing themselves, building confidence, and learning new skills. I enjoy working with athletes and high performers who want to strengthen their mindset, improve focus, navigate pressure, and perform at their best—whether in sports, academics, or other areas of life.

Hello,
It's a pleasure to meet you.
As a social worker I believe prioritizing mental health is key to an individual's ability to live a productive life. We all need support at some point in our lives, so thank you for taking the first step on the road to empowerment. I have provided individual and group therapy to adults for the past eight years.

Hi, I’m Valerie, and I specialize in complex/developmental trauma and grief. I work primarily with women navigating childhood trauma, complicated family dynamics, narcissistic abuse, and what it means to move through life without the support they should have had. I also work with young adults who have experienced the loss of one or both parents.
Many of my clients are used to being the "strong one" -- the one who holds everything together, even while feeling overwhelmed, disconnected, or exhausted underneath. Therapy with me is a space where you don’t have to do that anymore.
I use EMDR and Induced After Death Communication therapies to help process experiences that feel stuck, not just intellectually, but emotionally and physically. This work goes beyond talking about what happened; we focus on helping your system actually shift so those experiences no longer carry the same weight.
I have a particular passion for working with grief, including the kind that isn’t always recognized—like estrangement, losing a parent (emotionally or physically), or becoming an adult without the support you needed. I don’t believe grief is something you “get over,” but something you learn to carry differently.
I earned my Master of Social Work from Fordham University and my Bachelor of Social Work from Adelphi University, graduating summa cum laude from both. I began my work in a community mental health clinic and later worked in several private practices before opening my own.

Born and raised in WNY, attended SUNY Buffalo, obtaining my bachelor's in psychology and master's in Social Work there.
I enjoy working with people of all ages who are striving to move through and process the difficult life experiences, changes and transitions we all experience such as grief & loss, divorce, trauma, addictions of all kinds, parenting and behavioral problems in children and adolescents.

Looking for guidance to work through trauma? Feeling stuck in your relationship? Wondering about your life’s purpose? You’re not alone. We all face challenges at different points in our lives, and sometimes we need support to find self-awareness and compassion—both essential to healing. Using evidence-based approaches like IFS and EMDR, I help support emotional and mental health goals. I believe we all have the innate ability to feel, heal, discover, and live a more uplifting life. All it takes to begin is the willingness to take that first step and trust the process.
