When I begin to work with a new client, my goal is to understand each client and see his or her strengths, abilities, and positive qualities. Very often new clients, especially children or teens, are so used to thinking or hearing about their problems that they themselves seem to forget their own positive traits and attributes. I really enjoy helping foster resiliency among my clients, helping them recognize their capacities to cope, heal, and move beyond feeling stuck or powerless. My approach is very effective with individuals struggling with anxiety, depression, trauma, low self esteem, and feeling overwhelmed in life.

Hello! I am Veronica, a therapist who is committed to providing a safe and supportive space for people seeking mental health care. My humanistic approach to counseling is rooted in empathy, active listening, and a client-centered perspective. I tailor my interventions to meet the unique needs of each individual. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP) are some of the evidence-based treatments I use to to help people overcome the challenges of past traumas, anxiety, depression, and OCD.

At times in our lives we all have experiences that leave us feeling anxious, depressed, sad, grieving, stressed, worried, uncertain, vulnerable, fearful, frustrated, angry, confused, at a loss. An experienced therapist can help deal with the current issues causing the distress, as well as explore the life experiences that may be contributing to one's current emotional struggles. I work with adults who want to change patterns of thinking, acting, and feeling that contribute to dissatisfaction in daily life. Some of those issues include: Relationships; Grief and Loss; Mood Disorders; Trauma; Parenting; Life Transitions; Self-Esteem.

I believe that each person I work with knows themselves best, and can ultimately identify their own feelings, problems, and methods for managing them. I also know that everyone needs help from time to time in understanding their obstacles, the origins of them, and the path forward. I am honored to help my patients through their unique challenges.

My first goal in the therapeutic process is to create a trusting, safe and collaborative relationship. Through active exploration, it is my hope that you will uncover insight into thoughts, emotions and behavior that will empower and support you in transforming your life. I recognize the difficulty of developing and maintaining a sense of self that reflects a value of inner worth rather than outer societal or familial ideals and expectations. My intention is for you to become the person you really are and from that place, make choices leading you towards a greater sense of wholeness, peace and well-being.

Hello, and welcome! I’m so excited that you’re here. Perhaps you are experiencing dissatisfaction in your life, or perhaps you are unhappy with how some (or much) of your life is going. Maybe you are looking for a way to make better decisions, improve difficult relationships, or stop the self-criticism that persistently plays in your mind. Maybe you are ready to take yourself seriously and build a better life. Paying attention to the internal invitation to tend to your growth requires vulnerability and curiosity. It takes courage to truly show up for yourself and risk joy.

I work with a variety of people with a common set of experiences-the after effects of trauma, both childhood and throughout the lifespan. Untreated trauma is often accompanied by anxiety, depression, physical problems and addictions.

I place a heavy emphasis on authenticity, vulnerability, and connection when it comes to mental health. I believe that if addiction is a disease of isolation, then the solution to that is connection, with oneself and others. In my work with clients, I believe in helping them to cultivate self-acceptance, which leads to an improved sense of self-worth and greater love for oneself. Additionally, I encourage clients to have compassion for themselves, while having an appreciation for the therapeutic process. I consider it my role to help others discover and become their true self, so that what’s on the inside matches the outside.
