Coming from an Asian background, therapy was only something you did if there was something severely wrong with you. Luckily, I live in the Bay now, where therapy seems to be the trendy thing to do, and so I decided to try it for the first time.

I was never into therapy and never thought I would need to see a therapist. Luckily I found Valerie. She has been such a huge help to after going through a traumatic event. I would highly recommend Valerie. Her patience, her ability to truly listen, make you feel comfortable is amazing! She is genuinely here to help and come up with different ways to help you express your emotions. A big huge thank you Valerie, you are the best!!!

Valerie is the kind of person that you just feel really comfortable and natural around, even when working through what you'd think would be uncomfortable/difficult topics.

Self work isn't always easy, but it's great having a trained professional that has your back. Would recommend to a friend :)
