I am a performance storyteller, visual artist, and counselor specialized in issues unique to creative individuals, the creative process, and self-expression. I began working in the mental health field in 2007, and since then I have worked with hundreds of individuals, groups, and families at all stages of life.
I have worked with people struggling with depression, anxiety, anger, grief and bereavement, addiction and substance use issues, relationship problems, poor boundaries, major life transitions, stage of life concerns, assertiveness training, meaning and life purpose, and spiritual crises.

People repress their curiosities, longings, and true selves due to fear and perfectionism. With a touch of Whimsy and a dash of circus, my visual art and story-performances provide a "permission statement" for those needing the encouragement to explore the un-lived life of imagination and wonder that lays untouched within, longing to be expressed.

High integrity and higher creativity! Valdon infuses all he does with passion, compassion and a healthy twist of sass. I trust that whatever he is providing will be top notch. He is committed to social causes, acts of inspiration, and individual growth. Whether making art or facilitating the growth of an artist, Valdon puts a lot into what he provides.

I've been fortunate to consult with Valdon over many projects and through personal experiences, and have always found the time and conversation valuable. Specifically to my work as an artist, and creative arts director, I have found his perspective is always refreshing and helps me recalibrate when I run myself down, or get stuck in the processes - often I find that it was just what I needed to get unstuck and back to having the right relationship with my work.
He is a charming character, with wisdom and vision beyond years.
