Hi everyone! I’m Valerie, a dedicated board certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner with a desire for delivering compassionate and evidence-based care to individuals facing mental health challenges. With a special focus and passion for healthcare workers and first responders, I bring a unique understanding of the challenges and stressors faced by those in demanding professions and the psychological impact of high-stress environments. Whether it's managing work-related stress, navigating trauma exposure, or addressing burnout, I provide a safe and supportive space for individuals to heal and thrive.

Working as a nurse in community hospitals the past 10 years, along with working in the ICU setting the past 7 years, I know the importance of staying well to care for others in their most vulnerable state. Driven by my commitment to holistic wellness, I take a collaborative approach to patient care, working closely with clients to develop personalized treatment plans that integrate pharmacotherapy, psychotherapy, and
lifestyle modifications. I believe in empowering my patients to actively participate in their mental health journey. I strive to foster a supportive and non-judgmental setting where individuals feel heard, understood, and respected.

​

I work with clients ages 18 and up. I provide treatment exclusively via telehealth to anyone residing in Washington State.
