Hi! My name is Michelle Valdner and I’m a psychotherapist, yoga instructor, nature lover, fitness enthusiast, and most importantly a fellow human on this journey of life. I work with individuals who are seeking relief from anxiety. Anxiety reveals itself in many ways, physical tension, irritability, overwhelm, excessive worry, obsessive thoughts, and debilitating fear. You may even have trouble trying to find the words to describe how you’re really feeling. All you know is that you want to feel better, less stressed, happier, and more in control.

Life is tough enough these days and you don’t have to go through these heavy feelings alone. I view myself as a guide and a teammate for those struggling with:

·       Relationship difficulties

·       Coping with change and loss

·       Healing trauma

·       Moving through a transitional period  

·       Self-love, self-esteem, and self-worth

·       Self-judgment and worrying

·       Stress and anxiety

·       Self-discovery

·       Accomplishing goals 

I provide a safe and comfortable space for my clients and believe in the healing power of authentic connection, deep listening, and empowerment. I pride myself on being the type of therapist that is honest, direct, and compassionate. I’m less of a “how does that make you feel” therapist and more of a “lets both get our hands dirty and figure this out” type of therapist. I’m active, collaborative, and committed to doing the work if you are.

Our work together will create space for a deeper understanding of self, help you foster overall mental, emotional, and physical well-being, and give you the skills to live a healthy and happy life.
