I’m a licensed clinical social worker who brings warmth, depth, and clarity to therapy. I blend evidence-based approaches with flexibility to meet each client’s unique needs. I specialize in navigating complex relationships, chronic stress, depression, anxiety, self-esteem challenges, and life transitions—especially when high-conflict dynamics or emotional confusion are involved. Together, we create a collaborative space to understand patterns, build insight, and foster lasting, meaningful change.
In our first session together, here's what you can expect
In our first session, we'll create a safe space to discuss your background, current challenges, and therapy goals. You'll have time to ask questions, and I'll listen empathetically to understand how best to support you. We'll focus on building trust, identifying your needs (like managing stress or improving relationships), setting goals, and outlining a personalized plan—all at a pace that feels right for you. No need to have everything figured out; we'll start where you are.
The biggest strengths that I bring into our sessions
What sets my approach apart is blending evidence-based methods with genuine empathy, helping clients untangle complex emotions and dynamics. I excel at fostering insight in high-conflict situations, rebuilding self-trust after invalidation, and guiding sustainable change. Clients often share that our work brings clarity, reduced anxiety, and stronger boundaries—describing it as transformative yet practical.
The clients I'm best positioned to serve
I work best with thoughtful adults feeling stuck in difficult relationships, chronic stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, or life changes—often involving confusing or high-conflict dynamics. If you're ready to gain insight, rebuild confidence, and create healthier boundaries, I'm here to support your journey toward emotional freedom and meaningful growth.
Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
I use its structured tools to help clients identify and challenge unhelpful thinking patterns, fostering more balanced perspectives and behaviors. My approach incorporates CBT elements like thought records and behavioral experiments to address anxiety, stress, and self-esteem issues, empowering clients to make practical changes that lead to lasting emotional relief.
Acceptance and commitment (ACT)
I integrate Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) techniques to help clients develop psychological flexibility, accepting difficult thoughts and emotions while committing to actions aligned with their values. In sessions, I draw on ACT principles like mindfulness, defusion from unhelpful thoughts, and values clarification to support clients in reducing avoidance and building resilience, often blending it with other approaches for personalized growth.
Mindfulness-Based Therapy
Mindfulness practices are woven into my sessions to promote present-moment awareness and emotional regulation. I guide clients in techniques like breathwork, body scans, and non-judgmental observation to reduce stress and enhance self-insight, often combining them with other methods to help navigate life's challenges with greater calm and clarity.
Solution Focused Brief Treatment
I employ Solution-Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT) to shift emphasis from problems to solutions, helping clients identify their strengths and envision preferred futures. In our work, I use SFBT questions and scaling techniques to facilitate quick insights and actionable steps, particularly useful for overcoming stuck points in relationships or transitions.
Narrative
Narrative Therapy is part of my toolkit to help clients re-author their stories, separating themselves from limiting narratives imposed by high-conflict situations or past experiences. Through collaborative exploration, we externalize issues and highlight resilience, empowering clients to rewrite their experiences with greater agency and self-compassion.

Veronica has helped me through the most difficult time of my life. She has shown me how to maintain a better lifestyle for myself that has now placed me in probably the happiest I've ever been. She has a keen eye for being able to find repeat behaviors that are not obvious to you or even others. She is really insightful when it comes to breaking the pattern of habit that might be detrimental to yourself as well as giving me so many tools to have a better quality of life all around.
