Meet Veronica

I believe in meeting people where they are and supporting them through your healing journey. I have experience with but not limited to those experiencing change, stress, burnout, caregiver stress, anxiety, or depression. I strive to be transparent, open, honest, and provide direct feedback. Therapy can feel scary and intimidating. I provide an open safe space to support your needs without judgment. Therapy is a place where you can feel heard and listened to and be the expert in you and your needs.

I strive to be transparent, open, honest, and provide direct feedback.
