I'm Valerie, a Clinical Mental Health Counseling Intern. I believe no one should have to grieve alone. For over 15 years, I have worked as a bereavement coordinator in hospice, supporting individuals and families through grief, loss, and deeply painful life transitions.
Through this work, I have developed the ability to create a calm and compassionate space where emotions can be genuinely heard, honored, and supported. My counseling approach is grounded in person-centered, humanistic, existential, and mindfulness-based perspectives.
I believe healing happens in relationship built on safety, empathy, and genuine connection. It would be an honor to support you as you navigate this challenging chapter with care and compassion.
