GET TO KNOW ME

Hi, I’m Veronica, and I’m so glad you’re here.

Life can be beautiful, messy, and overwhelming all at once. If you’re feeling stuck, anxious, or simply exhausted from trying to hold it all together, you don’t have to navigate it alone. As a licensed therapist with over 11 years of experience, I specialize in helping women through life’s challenges—whether it’s managing anxiety, struggling from depression, navigating motherhood, experiencing infertility or healing from past trauma.

My approach is warm, down-to-earth, and personalized to what you need. I know that healing looks different for everyone. I am trained in EMDR, but I also draw from a variety of approaches—CBT, EMDR, mindfulness, solution focused, and more—because together, we’ll figure out what works best for you.

At Hope Within Therapy, you’ll find a space where you can breathe, be yourself, and feel truly heard. You deserve support, and I’d be honored to walk alongside you on this journey.

The Experience Behind My Work

Background

With over 11 years of clinical experience, I’ve worked closely with women navigating anxiety, trauma, motherhood, and major life transitions. My practice is rooted in empathy, authenticity, and a deep understanding of the emotional challenges many women face.

Education

I earned my Master’s degree in Counseling Psychology, which laid the foundation for my therapeutic work with individuals and families. Since then, I’ve continued to build on that education with specialized training in trauma and women’s mental health.

Certifications

I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) and hold a PMH-C, which means I am certified in Perinatal Mental Health. I am also EMDR-trained, allowing me to provide evidence-based trauma support tailored to each client’s healing journey.

Ongoing Learning

I regularly participate in professional trainings, workshops, and peer consultation to stay current with best practices and emerging research. Continued learning allows me to offer clients the highest quality care, grounded in both experience and up-to-date clinical knowledge.

At Hope Within Therapy, my mission is to provide a warm, supportive space where women can feel truly heard, understood, and empowered. I believe that healing is about rediscovering your strength, shifting unhelpful patterns, and creating a life that feels more aligned and fulfilling. Using a blend of evidence-based therapies, including EMDR, CBT, and mindfulness, I tailor each session to meet you where you are. Whether you’re navigating anxiety, trauma, or life’s many transitions, I’m here to help you find hope, healing, and a path forward—one step at a time.

Let’s Figure Things Out Together

Healing is a journey, not a destination. It’s about discovering strengths, processing emotions, and gaining the tools to navigate life’s ups and downs with confidence and self-compassion. My role is to walk alongside you, offering guidance and support as you move toward hope and healing.
