CLINICAL SPECIALITIES

“Working with V has helped me recognize my own emotional patterning that holds me back in developing intimacy with people I love the most. V has helped me feel confident in making changes to those patterns and shift the way I show up in my marriage and as a parent.

I feel safe opening up to V and I also know they will challenge me in the ways I need to be challenged.”
