We think we listen, but very rarely do we listen with real understanding, true empathy. Yet, listening of this very special kind, is one of the most potent forces for change that I know (Carl Rogers). Veronica is here to listen.

As a native Spanish speaker, she is an empathic, open-minded helper focused on truly hearing English- or Spanish-speaking clients. Specializing in the treatment of anxiety and depression, Veronica provides catered treatment, primarily channeled through Cognitive Behavioral Therapy.

Hope starts here. Are you feeling sad or stressed? Do you experience mood swings but don't really know why? Maybe you've been withdrawing from family, friends, or activities that used to breathe light into your life. If you have been feeling depressed, have found yourself more angry or hostile than normal, or suffer from low energy or problems sleeping, you may have an untreated mental health issue. Mental health impacts your way of thinking, relating to others, and overall quality of life. Many issues have been identified and defined including anxiety, depression, post-traumatic stress (PTSD), etc. You don't have to suffer anymore.

While I enjoy working with clients with a multitude of presenting issues, I primarily specialize in treating trauma and PTSD. Using an integrated approach to therapy, I collaborate with clients on working through past and present difficulties to develop insight into complex issues and achieve the highest level of functioning.

I believe in the inherent wisdom that lies within each of us. Sometimes sadness, pain, anger, anxiety and discomfort can block us from that wisdom and we find ourselves stuck in our lives. My goal in helping my clients is to provide a safe environment within which we can work together to remove the blocks to joy, love, peace and happiness, furthering personal growth and healing. I truly believe that the answers we need lie within each of us. Part of my job is to help you sift through the layers to find the answer that is right for you.

As a counselor, I believe we grow through relationship with others. I treat therapy as an equal partnership where we can explore your strengths, values, and hopes, to help you use your power to reach your goals. I know that feeling seen and heard by your therapist matters, so I work to create a space where you can feel safe to be authentic and open. Our mental health may be informed by our experiences, communities, culture, and larger social issues in our world. Because of this, I know that you’re the expert in your life, and my role is to help you explore, practice, and plan the next steps to build the life you want.
