About Veronica

I work with adults to offer a collaborative, strengths-based perspective to encourage positive growth and empowerment for my clients. My goal is to create a safe, respectful, non-judgmental environment which helps clients thrive.

My approach to counseling is practical and goal-oriented. It is built on a solid framework of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which deals with the hidden messages of our mind, and Solution-Focused therapy, which focuses on harvesting the power of existing strengths, I also incorporate elements from Dialectical Behavioral Therapy which focuses on balance, and Mindfulness, which focuses on being peaceful in the present.
​​
I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with over 18 years of experience. I have a MSW from the University of Maryland School of Social Work, and an undergraduate degree in psychology from the University of California, Berkeley.
