About

Hi! My name is Veronica, I have over 20 years of experience counseling clients and I am very passionate about my work. I love to help people, and it makes me very happy to see them getting better. My clients say it's easy to connect with me: they feel that I can understand their worlds and that they can open their hearts as they haven’t before, and this makes them feel positively different about themselves. This might be because I have personally dealt with the suffering, sadness and anxiety of everyday life, allowing me to empathize with them. For this reason, I strive to be my best in order to help my clients. I know that you can feel better no matter what kind of situation is in front of you.

Please let me help you, life can be better, and you can be happy!

I won't give up on you!
