Therapy that understands the patterns beneath the pain

I became a therapist because I know what it feels like to be stuck in painful emotional cycles and to search for answers that traditional therapy didn’t seem to reach. For a long time, I struggled to understand my own patterns, wondering why I kept ending up in situations that left me feeling emotionally drained and unsure of myself. Through that process, I developed a deep appreciation for what true healing requires, not just coping skills, but clarity, compassion, and the courage to face what’s underneath. That personal journey inspired me to help others find the same sense of understanding and self trust that changed everything for me.

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor in New Jersey and the founder of Val’s Corner Counseling. I specialize in helping high functioning adults who feel anxious, self critical, or emotionally exhausted.
