Valerie’s sessions helped me navigate conversations around careers, grief, heartbreak, relationships, recovery, and much, much more. It’s been so anchoring to have these sessions, and it’s truly a highlight of my week to get to chat through my thoughts and emotions with her! Valerie, thank you so much for your endless empathy and grace, and for helping me give that same kind of care to myself as well. If I have grown as a person at all these past few years (and I like to think that I have!), I definitely owe a substantial part to the constant reflection our weekly sessions gift me with.

I have been working with Valerie to lower my blood sugar (so I don’t have to go on long-term medication), as well as my overall health. Valerie is extremely knowledgeable about things such as digestive systems and gut health, among others. She is very willing to work with you for what works best for you and your daily schedule/environment, and will point things out to you that you probably wouldn’t think about yourself. I look forward to continuing to work with Valerie going forward!

I’ve been working with Valerie for over a year now, and have gained a lot of self-confidence and improved self-awareness throughout the process. She has helped me look inward to understand my needs both professionally and personally. I originally started sessions with the purpose of getting myself help during a time I was feeling very stuck and unhappy with my life. Through our sessions, I realized that most of the feeling came from my job, and was able to focus on changing my situation. With her assistance, I was able to stay positive and motivated in my job search, which led me to finding a position that really satisfies my needs. Although the first few months were focused around my changing career, we’ve continued sessions beyond that as a well-needed mental health check up. I always look forward to talking to Valerie, and have truly felt the difference in my mental health since beginning our sessions.

Oahn D. // Student Mentor and Corporate Professional
From the very beginning, I felt incredibly seen and heard during our conversations, which empowered me to unpack the deep roots of some of my challenges and look them in the eye for the first time. I’ve gotten to a point where any time an issue becomes difficult to grapple with, I immediately think of asking Valerie in order to have her supportive, third-party perspective and advice. A great deal of my self-growth has been directly related to [our] conversations, and I am much happier and content than I ever thought possible. I only wish that I had met Valerie earlier!

Working with Valerie as my coach was instrumental to my growth at work. She provided a safe and comfortable space for us to discuss anything, and helped me work through so many challenges and decisions in my first year in the working world. She made me feel heard, helped me understand my authentic self and gave me the tools to advocate for myself and go after what I truly want. Beyond being a great coach, Valerie is so kind and understanding and I always left meetings with her feeling better than before. I really believe everyone could benefit from working with Valerie.
