I am a professional counselor licensed in Arkansas, Oklahoma and Utah with over 9 years of experience working as a therapist and an additional 10 years as a social worker and family advocate. I have worked with clients with a wide range of concerns including depression, anxiety, relationship issues, parenting problems, adoption and foster care, blended families, trauma and grief. I am trained in EMDR which is a highly effective treatment for trauma. I specialize in helping clients working through abuse and/or trauma including complex grief and loss of a child.
I approach counseling as an interactive conversation where you are the expert of your experience and I am your coach to help address areas that aren't working the way you need them to and strengthen the tools that have helped you come this far. I believe in treating everyone with respect, sensitivity, and compassion, in a non-judgmental space. We are all doing the best we can and sometimes we need some help or another approach to make the progress we are wanting to see. My approach combines cognitive-behavioral, humanistic, attachment, and trauma informed counseling. Our work together will be specific to where you are in your progress and your specific goals.
Making changes is brave and can feel uncomfortable, especially in the beginning. Yet staying the same is often already uncomfortable and often why we reach out to change. Let's do this together!
I look forward to working with you!

I have healed in so many ways by seeing Veronica. She has several techniques and areas of expertise to conquer deep rooted trauma and attachment issues. I have also gained a lot of self confidence and the ability to believe in myself and my own thoughts and decisions. I highly recommend her.

Veronica is amazing and knows my struggles and is so smart in how to help me. I joke and tell her that I wish I could shrink her down and have her on my shoulder to whisper things in my ear through my day on how to handle things better. She is great and would recommend her to anyone.

I worked with Veronica for about a year, coming to her in crisis, and now leaving equipped with new skills and tools. Veronica is a dream to work with, using EMDR and other therapy models to best serve your unique needs and situations. I asked for weekly assignments to help me progress faster, and put in extra work outside of my therapy sessions, in journaling and practicing new skills. I am so grateful for BetterHelp and the convenience of online therapy and would not hesitate to recommend Veronica's services to anyone.

Veronica has changed my life. I came into therapy with hesitation of being matched with the right therapist but I was matched perfectly. The only regret is not starting sooner!

She creates such a safe place for me to talk about things. I’ve never been in a place where i feel safe to talk about things and she has helped me carry this over into my relationships with friends and family too. I have bridged a gap between me and my family and it’s all thanks to her!

She has spent the time to get to know me and my situation as well as my concerns. She has helped me to dive deeper into my issues and figure them out. I have made so much improvement since I started counseling and it is due to her guidance. She has been available through chat, email, and live sessions and I know that I will have the support I need whenever I need it. I am incredibly happy to have Veronica as my counselor.

I feel like Veronica is able to meet me on the level I need for therapy to be effective. She often asks poignant questions that haven't occurred to me, and allows me to explore answers inside myself. She is very warm and empathetic and personable with her responses, and yet - at the same time she is able to offer that respectable professionalism that I value.
I'm very grateful that she and I have crossed paths when it comes to examining my own trauma and grief-related healing. I would highly recommend her if you are looking for a counsor who is compassionate and real.

Veronica has a breadth of knowledge and communicates calmly about the issues I go through and what is happening behind-the-scenes that I might not be aware about. She is extremely supportive and validating, while also unpacking and subtly challenging ideas that you have told yourself to be absolute. I’ve not had many sessions with her, but she shares notes about our sessions and it feels like I learn a new thing about myself in every session!

I’m grateful for the support she has provided for my needs. Thank you Veronica.
