It’s okay to not know the answer to these questions. Most people don’t. That’s what Family Dynamics is here for.
Your life hasn’t been playing out by chance. It’s a result of your family dynamics. And you have the power to rewrite the script.
Whether it’s external - a career you don’t recognize, a relationship you don’t enjoy, a friend group that feels toxic - or internal - you are quick to anger, inexplicably tired all the time, unmotivated - you feel like at some point you reached a fork in the road and took the wrong turn. And now you don’t know how to turn it around.
You don’t have to continue living life on autopilot. It’s time to take charge and transform your life.
As a licensed MFT with over 35 years of experience, I have witnessed just how much of our family dynamics influence the trajectory of our lives.
Every person has their own unique story - think of it like a fingerprint. Part of it is made up from your history (genetics & born-family). Part of it comes from how you were raised (code of behavior, traditions). And part of it comes from your life experiences (how family treats you vs. others, observation of parental and guardian interactions, etc.)
Mix those parts together, and you have a unique story that is going to tell you exactly how you got to where you are today.
I can’t recommend Val highly enough! Her tools and advice have been true lifesavers. Val is incredibly intuitive, fair-minded, and adept at handling even the toughest personalities—including me! She has a remarkable ability to be honest and hold you accountable, but she does it in a way that empowers you to learn and grow. Rather than simply providing answers, Val teaches you how to “fish,” equipping you with the skills and mindset to navigate challenges independently. While her deep experience makes her insights invaluable, it’s her ability to guide you toward self-reliance that sets her apart. She has been a trusted partner for many years, even through long breaks between “events.” Our conversations are often challenging, but I always leave feeling better, with a clear action plan and renewed hope. Val’s professionalism, wisdom, and compassion are unmatched. Highly recommend her—she’s one of a kind!
I have known Valerie and worked with her for 2 years. She has helped me navigate through everything from work situations to family dynamics. She doesn’t give me the solutions, she guides me through the process of finding the best solution. She is kind and caring and has a true passion for helping people! I would recommend Valerie to anyone who is truly looking to improve their life…she is the best!
