Meet Valorie

I have over 12 years of experience working with couples and also treating anxiety, depression, trauma and PTSD. I view the client as being the expert of what they need and I am honored to go on the journey with you. As a strengths-based therapist, I treat the client from a holistic approach and also expect an active process. Learning and growing in therapy is always my goal so that the client can benefit long after the treatment is over.
