Hello there! I’m Val, I believe everyone has the power to change and become the person they want to be. I will guide you in identifying your goals, dreams and working on bringing down those barriers. Practice applying what you learn and discover using your newfound insights and skills. Watch yourself transform into a more authentic, healthy, and balanced version of you. I strive to provide a safe and confidential environment to assist in the counseling process.

I received my master’s degree in Mental Health Counseling from Nova Southeastern University. I have an extensive background in working with mental health and addictions. I approach therapy from an individualist, holistic, and integrative lens. I believe personal health is impacted by emotional, mental, spiritual, and physical factors which affect personal health and well-being. Through healing from beliefs that cause harm and rewiring the mind’s stubborn thinking that will continue to hold you back. You CAN learn to see beyond fears, anxieties and old beliefs and find the inspiration to live the happiest, healthiest, and most fulfilling life available to you.

In therapy, I encourage clients to learn more about themselves, and help to direct them toward self-empowerment. Individuals will learn how to take control of their lives and learn ways to move forward and accomplish their personal goals. The therapeutic relationship is one of the most key factors in therapy success. My goal is to meet you exactly where you are on your journey.
