You May Be In The Right Place If…
You may recognize yourself in some of these experiences:
- You feel deeply affected by other people’s emotions
- You struggle to set boundaries without guilt
- You overthink conversations and relationships
- You often carry the emotional weight for others
- You feel torn between family expectations and your own needs
- You appear capable on the outside but feel overwhelmed inside
- You want healthier relationships but repeat old patterns
Therapy can help you understand these patterns, regulate emotions, and relate to yourself with more compassion and confidence.

About Me
I’m Valquiria Molina, a Brazilian therapist based in Washington State.
I work with sensitive, introspective adults and couples who often carry more emotional weight than they should have to carry alone.
My clinical focus includes:
- emotional sensitivity
- relationship dynamics
- identity development
- attachment patterns
- intercultural experiences
I earned my Psychology degree in Brazil and completed a Master’s degree in Psychology with a clinical focus in hospital settings, supporting individuals facing complex emotional and health-related challenges.
My style is warm, insightful, collaborative, and depth-oriented. Outside of work, I enjoy exploring the Pacific Northwest, hiking, weekend getaways, slow mornings, reading, and spending time with my Yorkie.

Therapy is not about fixing you.
It is about understanding how your experiences shaped you, honoring the parts of you that adapted to survive, and helping you build new ways of relating—with yourself and others.
