Welcome, I’m Veronica! Whether you’re starting therapy for the first time or returning to therapy with a new clinician, I believe a trusting therapeutic relationship is the foundation of meaningful work. I view therapy as a collaborative conversation where you can show up as you are; you don’t need to have everything figured out to begin. My goal is to offer a supportive, steady, and nonjudgmental space where you can slow down, make sense of what you’re feeling, and gain a deeper understanding of what matters most to you.
I have experience supporting adults across the lifespan navigating anxiety, depression, grief and loss, relationship concerns, caregiving, chronic or terminal illness, and sociopolitical stress. I also enjoy working with clients who are exploring interpersonal patterns such as people-pleasing, attachment concerns, family-of-origin dynamics, and challenges with setting boundaries.
My approach is collaborative, individualized, and flexible. Together, we’ll clarify your goals, explore the experiences and narratives that have shaped your life, and develop coping strategies that feel realistic and sustainable. Rather than taking a prescriptive approach, I regularly invite your feedback and make space to adjust our work as your needs change. My practice draws from relational, narrative, strengths-based, acceptance and commitment (ACT), existential, cognitive behavioral (CBT), solution-focused, and systems approaches.
I also believe that therapy should balance both compassion and honesty. I utilize gentle directness to help you notice blind spots, recognize patterns or behaviors that may no longer be serving you, and deepen your self-reflection. My style is warm, grounded, and practical, with plenty of room for curiosity and humor along the way.
A bit about me: I earned my Master’s degree in Social Work from the University of Texas at Austin and spent six years as a medical social worker supporting individuals and families navigating illness, disability, aging, and end-of-life. That work continues to shape my practice, particularly my belief that the systems, relationships, and environments around us shape both our struggles and our potential for change.
Outside of Moonstone, I enjoy walking my rescue dogs, listening to podcasts, reading, and taking Spanish classes.
If my approach resonates with you, I invite you to reach out and explore whether we might be a good fit to work together.
