Philosophy

The human experience is vast, often accompanied by a variety of emotions and lessons. At times, the emotions can become overwhelming; at times, the lessons may seem to suggest hopelessness. Though these emotions and perceived lessons may seem like permanent realities, clinicians are given the beautiful opportunity to witness overcoming and healing. I purpose to partner with clients/families and help them reach feelings of peace, satisfaction, and contentment. I strive to bring clinical insight and expertise into the counseling setting, helping clients/families to bring out their most vulnerable and seemingly irreparable parts of themselves. When transparency and vulnerability meet clinical insight and evidence-based treatment, miracles can happen. Being a clinician is an honor, and I hope to play a healing role in the lives of those I get to be a part of.

Veronica has a background in biblical studies and is well-equipped in guiding individuals through the exploration of the Christian faith by providing resources in apologetics, theology, and thorough biblical study. However, the clinical setting is often one of personal exploration and resolution of problematic emotions and behaviors. Because faith and spirituality can often be a source of pain or healing for individuals, she openly helps clients explore this area if desired without imposing personal beliefs or ideologies. The goal is for clients to reach their own conclusions on their journey. Veronica is willing to offer resources along the way while assisting in the management of emotions and everyday life.

She has acquired clinical experience involving the diagnosis and treatment for trauma, substance abuse/addiction, depressive disorders, anxiety disorders, eating disorders, and others. Notably, Veronica has also been exposed to a wide variety of cultural contexts through mission trips and educational training. International mission trip locations include Mexico, Poland, China, and Vietnam. In the United States, she has worked with impoverished communities in "Little Haiti" (Miami, Florida), Houston, and downtown San Antonio. She acknowledges the role that culture plays in the development of personality and coping mechanisms, as well as how it may perpetuate maladaptive coping styles in a new cultural setting.

During her free time, she loves spending quality time with her husband, time with close friends and family, playing pickleball or sand volleyball, hiking, board games, occasional ukulele playing and singing, and random adventures! Veronica especially loves traveling, making memories, and having new experiences.
