Valerie has over twenty year’s experience in counseling, teaching, and lecturing in the mental health field. Her work focuses on developing tools for individuals, couples, families, and corporations to achieve goals and make positive and lasting change.
She believes that the key to changing is doing, rather than just talking. For this reason, she includes adjunctive techniques in therapy. Valerie has over thirteen years experience using EMDR, Interactive Guided Imagery, and yoga-based breath work.
In addition to her private practice, Valerie currently runs a child abuse prevention and parenting program, teaches anger management, and is writing a book on parenting.
Valerie has published a series of audio tapes using guided imagery to teach relaxation and creativity, and co-produced a video on depression. She is the co-founder of both Matrix Seminars for Living with Cancer and Tapestry of the Soul Seminars for Women.
