Hi there, I'm Veronica. I'm a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist who has had the privilege of sitting with people of all kinds of diverse backgrounds, stories and struggles for the past 8 years. I enjoy working with people who are at the cusp of a life change, whether it's breaking free from a relationship, role or identity. I've come to enjoy the process of guiding people toward a life that feels most true and authentic to them.
In our first session together, we will get to know each other a bit as I ask questions about your struggles, goals, and expectations, and make space for any of your questions or concerns. From there we will identify clear signs of your healing and growth, and I will provide care that is tailored to you and your needs using various tools and methods, including psychodynamic, attachment-based, and mindfulness approaches.
Having worked with various age groups, backgrounds and presenting symptoms, I've developed an ability to listen for and tailor treatment to the individual's core needs, fears and desires efficiently, and have learned to move at the client's pace toward what is most true and empowering for them.
I love working with clients (21-40) who struggle with low self-esteem, codependent and people pleasing patterns in relationships, and those struggling with their direction and purpose in life.
I assist clients in becoming aware of patterns in their thinking, behaving, feeling and relating through understanding their origins and creating space for grief and self-compassion to pave the way for conscious change.
Helping clients understand their attachment style has been a useful tool for clients to make positive changes in their relationships. I also find it to be a helpful map for a client's core fears and needs in relationships.
In the process of navigating past pains and future fears, I utilize mindfulness skills to support clients in staying grounded in the present, which can include breath work somatic experiencing, and guided meditation.
