As a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist, Valeria has been in practice for the past 5 years in various settings from children with special needs, adults with severe and persistent mental health, child and family clinics, and in private practice with specialized training in EMDR and DBT.
Her current focus in clinical work is family work and young professionals who are struggling with relationships, life stressors, anxiety, depression or unwanted coping behaviors as well as people who grew up with messy family systems, trauma or abuse who are looking to heal in order to experience more joy, ease and connection in their lives. As a bilingual clinician, Valeria can also provide therapy services in Spanish as well.
In her free time she enjoys spending time with family and friends, traveling, yoga and trying out new restaurants around the Bay Area.
My approach is warm, non-judgmental, intuitive and direct. I use evidence-based practices to support clients in their therapeutic journey. I am not here to tell you what to do but to teach coping skills, help change maladaptive thinking, be a listening ear and give you the tools to overcome the stressors of life.
