My name is Valorie (or Val if brevity is your vibe). My pronouns are she/they. I’m a pansexual transfemme with a passion for all things weird, kinky, and nerdy. I have a Master’s degree in social work and a background in helping people navigate depression, anxiety, grief and loss. As a therapist, I strive to provide a compassionate, trauma-informed space where clients can be who they are and take control of their life’s story.
I deeply value helping people live their fullest, most authentic lives. Sometimes that means exploring gender and orientation, a new kink or relationship dynamic. Other times that means navigating life challenges and emerging from them as your best self. Depression, anxiety, grief, As a transfemme, I know what it means to navigate a world that simply isn’t built for me. I also know how challenging and scary it can be to take the steps necessary to change one’s life and oneself for the better.
