Valerie is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW), an Accredited Financial Counselor (AFC), and founder of Just Breathe Consultation Services. Valerie has 14 years of experience in the mental health and healthcare system, and transitioned into private practice to be able to serve individuals in a more intimate setting.
In addition to mental health services, Valerie added financial health and well-being to her practice in order to serve individuals, couples, mothers, and families with the complex experience of financial management. Anxiety related to money management is on the rise. Finding financial resources that address your unique situation is difficult, time consuming, and hard to know if what is generically recommended will actually work. Valerie is passionate about democratizing financial literacy and empowering her clients to move forward with the confidence they need to create the life they want.
Valerie is a mother, an animal lover, nature enthusiast, and enjoys filling her weekends spending time with family and friends, meandering around farmer’s markets, exploring local attractions & treats, and filling her passport with new adventures.
