Are You Ready To Change Your Life?
Transformational holistic therapy that helps free you of the past and create a life of freedom.
Don’t let the past keep you from your future.
Talk therapy alone is not enough. Through a whole-body integrative approach, I help you process and heal trauma and PTSD symptoms, which may include anxiety, depression, and addiction. You'll address excessive thinking, connect with your body and sensations, and create more secure relationships.
Trauma
Trauma is the response to a scary or dangerous experience. Trauma can result from one big incident, as well as multiple smaller events over time. Unhealed trauma can show up as anxiety, depression, substance abuse, codependency, physical illness, and other symptoms. The goal of trauma psychotherapy is to help individuals process and heal from various traumatic and distressing events.
EMDR & Somatic
EMDR and somatic approaches work to heal trauma at both the mind and body levels. EMDR can reduce the emotional charge of painful memories and triggers, while the Trauma Resiliency Model (TRM) regulates the nervous system and builds new, more resilient neural pathways. Together, they restore emotional balance, a sense of safety, and vitality - often more efficiently than traditional talk therapy alone.
Queer Affirming
Healing looks different when your identity, relationships, or family have been misunderstood - or outright harmed - by the world around you. I offer affirming, culturally informed therapy for LGBTQIA2S+ individuals, with an understanding of the unique relational dynamics, family complexities, and trauma that can come with queer experience. As a queer woman myself, I'm not just an ally - I'm resourced, lived-in, and genuinely invested in this work.
Hi, I'm Valeriya.
I believe all people have the internal wisdom to heal emotional pain. Sometimes, we just need the support and right environment to make lasting change.
I have experience working in an award-winning trauma clinic and am skilled in a variety of techniques to meet each client’s individual needs. I am trained in EMDR, have a certification in the Trauma Resiliency Model (TRM)® Levels 1 & 2, and have a background in mindfulness.
I also specialize in LGBTQIA2S+ and queer-affirming therapy, and have extensive experience supporting gay and queer individuals navigating relationship dynamics, cultural pressures, family estrangement, and identity-related trauma.
My sessions are based on empathic, non-judgmental listening and understanding combined with holistic and somatic evidence-based therapeutic tools.
If you are feeling stuck and know something needs to change, I can help you find a renewed sense of hope, meaning, and progress in your life.
