Valorie completed a master’s of science degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Grand Canyon University. Prior to pursuing counseling, Valorie spent over a decade coaching soccer collegiately and professionally in various states and abroad. As someone who enjoys developing and caring for others, she has served as head coach, assistant coach, and a private coach of youth to adult players. The switch from coaching soccer to counseling reflects her deep desire to tend to others’ hearts well. She loves learning what makes people come alive, bearing witness to the pain of being human, and joining others as they discover and become more of who they are made to be. Her energetic and direct, yet curious and empathetic demeanor invites clients towards building lives of connection, hope, and wholeness. Valorie loves story work and has undergone training in Narrative Focused Trauma Care Level II through the Allender Center. She primarily uses relational psychodynamic therapy, attachment theory, the Allender theory, and a system theory framework to collaborate with clients. She believes holistic care, especially for those with experiences of trauma, moves us towards the wholeness we are meant for. Valorie enjoys rollerblading, playing pick up soccer and resting in cozy spaces. She lives with her young dog, a catahoula leopard mix named Jinx, and loves spending time with her. As we all navigate the heartache of living outside of Eden, Valorie would be honored to join you on your journey towards resilience, redemption, and freedom.

Valorie will begin seeing clients in March of 2025. Call now to get on her schedule.
