Who do you work with? Founders, owners, CEOs, VPs, senior executives, managers, and other high-impact people across tech, finance, healthcare, government, media, and the arts. People navigating transitions of role, scale, or identity. Some have spent years in their own development; others are only beginning, and ready to go deeper.

What does an engagement include? Engagements are tailored to each client. Most begin with a thorough assessment, proceed through regular coaching sessions, and conclude with individualized next steps for continued development. Focused intensives and ongoing advisory partnerships are also available.

Is this therapy? No. Valerie maintains a separate psychotherapy practice. Coaching with Valerie is forward-looking, practical, and results-driven. It does not involve diagnosis or clinical treatment.

You mention Internal Family Systems. Is that a clinical treatment? In her clinical practice, yes. In coaching, Valerie draws on it differently, as a practical way to understand the internal parts that show up under pressure and to lead from a steadier center. It is a method for self-leadership, not a course of therapy.

How is this different from other coaching? This work goes a level beneath the visible: how you communicate, decide, and present. It reaches the patterns and nervous system responses that shape how you show up in the first place. When those shift, the visible things change with them, and they hold.
