I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) passionate about helping adolescents and adults feel heard, understood, and supported. I work with clients navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, life transitions, women’s mental health concerns, and perinatal mood and anxiety challenges. My approach is compassionate and individualized, helping you build on your strengths and work toward greater emotional well-being.

Hello, and welcome. I believe that feeling safe, seen, respected, and accepted is an important part of the therapeutic process. I am committed to creating a welcoming environment that values and reflects diversity and inclusivity for all, and I strive to cultivate a warm supportive space where you can bring your whole self and feel free to be who you are.

I see the body as a powerful part of the healing process and a gateway to deeper self-awareness. My approach is grounded in somatic counseling psychology, with a foundation in body psychotherapy and dance movement therapy. I also draw from Kundalini yoga, Jungian dream and shadow work, mindfulness, meditation, regression therapy, ancestral healing practices, and conscious dance movement. I bring these perspectives together in a relational and intuitive approach that makes room for creativity, curiosity, and honest, straightforward guidance.

My work is holistic and integrative, honoring the connection between mind, body, heart, and spirit. When working with trauma, I draw from approaches such as Somatic Experiencing (SE), Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART), Gestalt Parts Work, and Imagery Therapy.

I’m an experienced mental health professional and leader with a strong background in therapy, behavioral health, and military family support. With over a decade of post-graduate experience, I’ve had the privilege of helping individuals, families, and service members navigate life’s challenges with compassion and professionalism. I combine clinical expertise with a warm, approachable style that fosters trust and collaboration.

I believe that even during life's most difficult seasons, growth and healing are possible.

I specialize in working with adults experiencing anxiety, depression, grief, stress, relationship concerns, career changes, burnout, and other significant life transitions. Whether you're navigating divorce, adjusting to a new chapter, or feeling overwhelmed by life's demands, my goal is to provide a supportive environment where you can process your experiences and develop practical strategies for moving forward.

My therapeutic approach is personalized and evidence-based. I integrate Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Motivational Interviewing, mindfulness, and trauma-informed care to meet clients where they are and help them achieve meaningful progress.

With experience as both a Licensed Professional Counselor and educational leader, I understand the unique pressures many adults face while balancing work, family, relationships, and personal growth.

My hope is that every client leaves therapy feeling more empowered, resilient, and confident in their ability to navigate whatever comes next.

"Together, we'll create a path forward—one step at a time."

Hello, my name is Veronica and helping my clients achieve their mental well-being goals is my passion. As a mother who lost her firstborn to bullying, and challenges with depression and anxiety, I know all too well the struggles and pain of mental illness.

I am a bilingual, licensed, and practicing counselor with a Master of Science in Mental Health Counseling, certified in Reiki and Access BAR, with several years of experience providing individual, couples, family, and crisis counseling. I earned my Master of Science in Mental Health Counseling from the University of Texas at El Paso and have since worked in various clinical settings with children and adults with diverse diagnoses, such as MDD, GAD, schizophrenia, BPD, PTSD, and anger issues, to name a few. I am a passionate and empathetic therapist with strong counseling skills and a deep understanding of interpersonal and familial relationships. I have experience helping clients manage their distress by guiding them to become comfortable with vulnerability and assisting them in identifying, exploring, and processing their emotions. I pride myself on providing a safe and supportive space to work alongside you, helping you overcome traumas, crises, and barriers to gain control of your life.

I have a depth of experience as a clinical school social worker for over 18 years. Prior to school social work and private practice, I worked in residential treatment, inpatient treatment and juvenile probation. The majority of my 20+ year career has been working with pre-teens, adolescents and their families. I love working with parents as they navigate raising kids!

Most recently, I have been working more with college aged busy moms and professionals. I also love working with high performing athelets.

For the past 16 years I have also supervised Masters level, clinical social work students. I also provide supervision for those working towards their LCSW.

My husband and I are busy raising our three young children. Being a parent is the greatest joy and there is no other role I rather be in.
