I am a licensed clinical psychologist with over 15 years of experience helping adults and adolescents navigate emotional challenges, relationship difficulties, life transitions, and periods of feeling stuck or overwhelmed. I earned my PhD in Clinical Psychology from The New School and completed my undergraduate studies in Psychology at Barnard College. My clinical training included work at several major New York City hospitals and psychiatric facilities, including Coney Island Hospital, Harlem Hospital, South Beach Psychiatric Center, and Beth Israel Center for Clinical Training and Research, where I worked with individuals facing a wide range of psychological and emotional concerns.
In addition to my clinical work, I am the founder and Clinical Director of a private practice, where I supervise and mentor a diverse team of psychotherapists. My background also includes years of experience in education, community programming, and psychological research, which has shaped my sensitivity to the ways culture, family systems, identity, achievement, and environment impact emotional wellbeing.

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.

I am here to support you and create a safe, accepting space dedicated to your individual needs, whether you are seeking to process past or current experiences, learn coping techniques, challenge negative patterns, establish healthy boundaries, or improve your relationships.
It is natural and normal to sometimes feel confused, scared, angry, exhausted, lonely, empty, disconnected or overwhelmed by our ever changing life circumstances. The focus of our therapeutic collaboration will be to develop a plan tailored to your unique needs and goals. My person-centered philosophy focuses not only on life's struggles but building upon your strengths. I seek to develop a therapeutic relationship that is genuine, energetic, and meaningful.
My expertise includes, but is not limited to anxiety, depression, anger, body image, ADHD, complex trauma, intimacy, sexuality, grief, relationship, attachment, identity and life changes. I am LGBTQIA+ affirming, culturally competent, trauma sensitive, body positive, and sex positive. My commitment is to help you to achieve balance, clarity and liberation.
I provide telehealth both in English and Mandarin Chinese.
