    Valerie is attentive, accessible, knowledgeable, and considerate. I feel that my concerns are validated and addressed individually and we discuss our path forward as peers with her professional insights and recommendations. She never condescends or skips over what I say. Additionally, she is easy to schedule with. My pharmacy on base can be a pain to connect with, and she has always ensured that the prescriptions do go through.

    I have been seeing my psychiatrist for 5+ years. Anytime I've spoken with her, she is patient and understanding, asks open-ended questions, and is attentive. She notices milestones, is very perceptive of patterns, and expresses concerns safely.
