Therapy for Women in Parsippany | Online Across New Jersey & New York

You’ve always held yourself to high standards, but now you’re questioning whether you’re capable of navigating this season of life.

You want to show up to every part of your life—your work, your relationships, your role as a parent—as your best self. But lately, it feels like your emotions have more control over you than you have over them. And with the shifts you’re experiencing right now, you want to feel more grounded and secure in who you are.

On top of that, maybe you’re struggling with…

When you can get to the root of the issue, you can release what’s been holding you back and find a new way forward.

Hi, I’m valerie

Let’s take a deeper look, name the patterns you’re stuck in, and explore ways to approach them differently.

In our work together, we’ll focus on creating a space where you can feel comfortable sharing stories and exploring your experiences without holding back. I bring a steady, compassionate presence that’s honest and straightforward—I’ll check in with you before naming something I’m noticing or asking a challenging question, because I believe our partnership should be built on a foundation of honesty and mutual respect. If you’re brushing something off or feeling unsure, I’ll create space for us to understand why. We’ll work together, without judgment, to validate your experiences and see how they’ve shaped who you are today.

My approach is rooted in understanding the deep connections you’ve formed throughout life—

Your bonds with caregivers, your patterns with loved ones, and even your relationship with yourself. I use a blend of body-based awareness and parts work (communicating with the conflicting ideas in your mind) to help you notice where things feel tight or uneasy, like when frustration builds up in your chest or sadness feels like a weight. By tuning into your body’s signals, we can gradually soften what feels overwhelming, allowing space for insight, healing, and real change. And, as we dive into these patterns, you’ll have my full expertise and commitment to support you every step of the way.
